Panchang in Devadurga, Karnataka Mon 9 Jul 2029

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 20:31 on Sun 8 Jul to 21:23 on Mon 9 Jul, touching pradosha on both evenings. The Nirnayasindhu takes the evening it holds more of: Mon 9 Jul. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Devadurga

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 21:23 on Mon 9 Jul to 21:39 on Tue 10 Jul, so only Monday night’s nishitha (00:05 Tue–00:49 Tue) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:56 here. Dwadashi ended at 20:31 Sun, before it. Trayodashi ends at 21:23, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 26 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 8 Jul ran from sunset 18:59 Sun to sunrise 05:56, 10 h 57 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:56 to 18:59, 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, 18:59 to 05:56 Tue, 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 50°. It leaves at 09:44, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 82.8° + 51.3° = 134.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 04:00 Tue, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 09:01, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 21:23.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:56 to 05:56 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 11 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 09:49 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 112.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
