Panchang in Devadurga, Karnataka Fri 9 Jan 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:53 here. Panchami ended at 06:34 Thu, before it. Shashthi ends at 07:05, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 06:34 Thu, before sunrise at 06:52 Thu, and ends at 07:05, after the next sunrise at 06:53. Both days read Shashthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 8 Jan ran from sunset 18:05 Thu to sunrise 06:53, 12 h 48 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:53 to 18:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:05 to 06:53 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 153°20′. It leaves at 13:40, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 264.6° + 156.5° = 421.1°, one full turn and 61.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 16:55, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 18:43 Thu, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 07:05.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:53 to 06:53 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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 19 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 16:27 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 279.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
