Panchang in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine Thu 28 May 2026

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 05:27 on Thu 28 May to 07:21 on Fri 29 May, so only Thursday’s pradosha (21:05–22:42) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Khmelnytskyi

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, 05:13 here. Ekadashi ended at 03:52 Wed, before it. Dwadashi ends at 05:27, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 03:52 Wed, before sunrise at 05:14 Wed, and ends at 05:27, after the next sunrise at 05:13. Both days read Dwadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 27 May ran from sunset 21:04 Wed to sunrise 05:13, 8 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 32 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:13 to 21:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 59 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:05 to 05:13 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 1 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 183°20′. It leaves at 05:38, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 42.6° + 186.5° = 229.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 01:24 Fri, then Parigha.

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 ended at 16:37 Wed, when the lead reached 138°; Balava runs until 05:27.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:13 to 05:13 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 May 23:01 Sat to 15 Jun 05:54 Mon the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 10:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 03:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 68.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
