Panchang in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine Fri 21 Jul 2023

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:28 here. Tritiya ended at 04:28, before it. Chaturthi ends at 06:56 Sat, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 04:28, before sunrise at 05:28, and ends at 06:56 Sat, after the next sunrise at 05:29 Sat. Both days read Chaturthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 20 Jul ran from sunset 21:08 Thu to sunrise 05:28, 8 h 20 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 33 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:28 to 21:07, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 57 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:07 to 05:29 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 2 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 130°. It leaves at 11:27, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 93.9° + 130.4° = 224.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 09:53, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 17:43, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 06:56 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:28 to 05:29 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 21:31 Mon to 16 Aug 12:38 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 11:02 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 17 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 19:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 117.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
