Panchang in Diffa, Niger Wed 1 Oct 2036

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:58 here. Ekadashi ended at 03:41, before it. Dwadashi ends at 06:10 Thu, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 03:41, before sunrise at 05:58, and ends at 06:10 Thu, after the next sunrise at 05:59 Thu. Both days read Dwadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 30 Sep ran from sunset 17:59 Tue to sunrise 05:58, 11 h 59 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:58 to 17:59, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 296°40′. It leaves at 01:00 Thu, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 164.2° + 297.3° = 461.5°, one full turn and 101.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 15:37, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 16:57, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 06:10 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:58 to 05:59 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Oct, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 20 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 2036, 21:56 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 180.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2093; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1958.
