Panchang in Devarshola, Tamil Nadu Tue 28 Jun 2022

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya holds both sunrises, 06:03 on Tue 28 Jun and 06:04 on Wed 29 Jun. Over two sunrises the Nirnayasindhu takes the first: Tue 28 Jun. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Devarshola

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:03 here. Chaturdashi ended at 05:52, before it. Amavasya ends at 08:22 Wed, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 05:52, before sunrise at 06:03, and ends at 08:22 Wed, after the next sunrise at 06:04 Wed. Both days read Amavasya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 27 Jun ran from sunset 18:51 Mon to sunrise 06:03, 11 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:03 to 18:51, 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, 18:51 to 06:04 Wed, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 60°. It leaves at 19:05, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 72.2° + 60.3° = 132.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 07:46, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 19:07, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 08:22 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:03 to 06:04 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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, 29 Jun, 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 29 Jun, 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: 1 Apr 2022, 11:54 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 84.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2079; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1944.
