Panchang in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine Thu 25 Jun 2015

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:06 here. Ashtami ended at 03:16, before it. Navami ends at 05:29 Fri, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 03:16, before sunrise at 05:06, and ends at 05:29 Fri, after the next sunrise at 05:07 Fri. Both days read Navami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 24 Jun ran from sunset 21:22 Wed to sunrise 05:06, 7 h 44 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 30 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:06 to 21:22, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 2 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:22 to 05:07 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 58 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 19:53, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 69.2° + 166° = 235.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 14:08, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 16:25, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 05:29 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:06 to 05:07 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 17:05 Tue to 16 Jul 04:24 Thu the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 01:32 Fri, 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 16 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 11:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 93.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
