Panchang in Devadurga, Karnataka Mon 10 May 2027

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:53 here. Tritiya ended at 09:03 Sun, before it. Chaturthi ends at 06:23, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Panchami began at 06:23 and ended at 03:48 Tue, between the sunrises of 05:53 and 05:53 Tue. Monday reads Chaturthi and Tuesday reads Shashthi: Panchami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 9 May ran from sunset 18:43 Sun to sunrise 05:53, 11 h 10 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:53 to 18:43, 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 night here, 18:43 to 05:53 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 70°. It leaves at 18:08, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 24.9° + 72.6° = 97.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 20:06, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 19:43 Sun, when the lead reached 42°; Vishti runs until 06:23.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:53 to 05:53 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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, 5 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 6 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 05:21 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 32.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
