Panchang in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine Sun 14 Jan 2024

Lohri’s bonfire is lit on the evening before Makar Sankranti. The Sun enters Makara at 23:13, and Makar Sankranti is on Mon 15 Jan: Sun 14 Jan. No text giving Lohri’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Lohri: every date in Khmelnytskyi

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, 08:03 here. Tritiya ended at 04:30, before it. Chaturthi ends at 01:29 Mon, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 11 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 07:15, came before Tritiya ended at 08:00: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 04:59 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

The night of Sat 13 Jan ran from sunset 16:37 Sat to sunrise 08:03, 15 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 1 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:03 to 16:38, 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, 16:38 to 08:02 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 55 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 306°40′. It leaves at 04:36 Mon, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 269.4° + 307.4° = 576.8°, one full turn and 216.8°. 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 23:09, 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 14:58, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 01:29 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:03 to 08:02 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 11 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha 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 292.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
