Panchang in Diffa, Niger Thu 13 Jul 2034

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 03:29 on Thu 13 Jul to 00:33 on Fri 14 Jul, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:40–20:54) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 00:33 on Fri 14 Jul to 21:45 on Fri 14 Jul, so it touches only Thursday night’s nishitha (23:53–00:37 Fri). 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, 05:49 here. Dwadashi ended at 03:29, before it. Trayodashi ends at 00:33 Fri, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Sunrise here, 05:32, came before Dwadashi ended at 07:59: this day reads Dwadashi. Trayodashi ends at 05:03 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Trayodashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Wed 12 Jul ran from sunset 18:40 Wed to sunrise 05:49, 11 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:49 to 18:40, 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, 18:40 to 05:50 Fri, 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 50°. It leaves at 08:10, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 86.6° + 51.9° = 138.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 18:28, 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 14:00, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 00:33 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:49 to 05:50 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 11:25 Fri to 15 Jul 19:15 Sat the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 20:17 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 15 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2034, 11:14 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 111.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2091; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1956.
