Panchang in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine Thu 30 Nov 2017

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, 07:44 here. Ekadashi ended at 05:56, before it. Dwadashi ends at 03:42 Fri, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 29 Nov ran from sunset 16:16 Wed to sunrise 07:44, 15 h 28 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 1 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:44 to 16:16, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 4 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:16 to 07:46 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 56 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 356°40′. It leaves at 12:42, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 224.1° + 357.1° = 581.2°, one full turn and 221.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 16:25, then Variyana.

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 16:55, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 03:42 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:44 to 07:46 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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, 18 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 18 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2017, 05:57 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 240.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
