Panchang in Deva, Hunedoara County, Romania Fri 1 Oct 2032

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 09:31 on Fri 1 Oct to 12:00 on Sat 2 Oct, so only Friday’s pradosha (19:07–21:35) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Deva

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:27 here. Ekadashi ended at 07:00 Thu, before it. Dwadashi ends at 09:31, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 19 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 07:00 Thu, before sunrise at 07:25 Thu, and ends at 09:31, after the next sunrise at 07:27. Both days read Dwadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 30 Sep ran from sunset 19:09 Thu to sunrise 07:27, 12 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:27 to 19:07, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:07 to 07:28 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 126°40′. It leaves at 19:40, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 164.2° + 127.3° = 291.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 10:49, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 20:15 Thu, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 09:31.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:27 to 07:28 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Oct, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 4 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina here, and Bhadrapada in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 10 Apr 2032, 05:39 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 167.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2089; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1954.
