Panchang in Devadurga, Karnataka Fri 22 May 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:50 here. Panchami ended at 08:27 Thu, before it. Shashthi ends at 06:25, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 06:25 and ended at 05:04 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:50 and 05:50 Sat. Friday reads Shashthi and Saturday reads Ashtami: Saptami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 21 May ran from sunset 18:47 Thu to sunrise 05:50, 11 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:50 to 18:48, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:48 to 05:50 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 106°40′. It leaves at 02:08 Sat, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 36.7° + 108.4° = 145.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 08:19, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 19:21 Thu, when the lead reached 66°; Taitila runs until 06:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:50 to 05:50 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 May 01:31 Sun to 15 Jun 08:24 Mon the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 12:52 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.

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 17 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 06:53 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 62.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
