Panchang in Huron, South Dakota, United States Fri 20 Aug 2027

Kajari Teej follows the tithi at sunrise. Tritiya runs from 06:46 on Thu 19 Aug to 08:23 on Fri 20 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 20 Aug, at 06:41. No text giving Kajari Teej’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 08:23 on Fri 20 Aug to 09:35 on Sat 21 Aug, so it holds moonrise only on Fri 20 Aug, at 21:34. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:41 here. Dwitiya ended at 06:46 Thu, before it. Tritiya ends at 08:23, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 17 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 19 Aug ran from sunset 20:31 Thu to sunrise 06:41, 10 h 10 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:41 to 20:30, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:30 to 06:42 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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 Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 336°40′. It leaves at 23:09, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 123° + 338.2° = 461.2°, one full turn and 101.2°. 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 16:34, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 19:38 Thu, when the lead reached 210°; Vishti runs until 08:23.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:41 to 06:42 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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 31 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 31 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 2027, 18:51 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 130.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
