Panchang in Huron, South Dakota, United States Fri 12 Dec 2025

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 276°–288° is the 24th, Krishna Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:59 here. Ashtami ended at 03:27, before it. Navami ends at 05:08 Sat, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 4 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 11 Dec ran from sunset 16:53 Thu to sunrise 07:59, 15 h 6 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 0 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:59 to 16:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 6 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:53 to 08:00 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 53 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 153°20′. It leaves at 18:20, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 236.6° + 154.7° = 391.3°, one full turn and 31.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 23:46, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 16:13, when the lead reaches 282°; Garaja until 05:08 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:59 to 08:00 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 19 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, begins Pausha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Pausha here, and Margashirsha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 05:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 251.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
