Panchang in Deva, Hunedoara County, Romania Sun 19 May 2030

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:52 here. Pratipada ended at 10:31 Sat, before it. Dwitiya ends at 06:54, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 17 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 06:54 and ended at 03:36 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:52 and 05:51 Mon. Sunday reads Dwitiya and Monday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 18 May ran from sunset 20:56 Sat to sunrise 05:52, 8 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:52 to 20:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 53 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:58 to 05:51 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 6 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 236°40′. It leaves at 10:10, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 33.9° + 237.3° = 271.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 19:06, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 20:41 Sat, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 06:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:52 to 05:51 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 1 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 2030, 01:02 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 45° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2087; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1952.
