Panchang in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine Wed 1 Jan 2031

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, 08:07 here. Ashtami ended at 04:00, before it. Navami ends at 05:23 Thu, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 24 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 31 Dec ran from sunset 16:22 Tue to sunrise 08:07, 15 h 45 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 3 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:07 to 16:23, 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 night here, 16:23 to 08:07 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 353°20′. It leaves at 19:10, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 256.3° + 354.3° = 610.6°, one full turn and 250.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 12:58, then Shiva.

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 16:36, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 05:23 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:07 to 08:07 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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, 23 Jan, 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 24 Dec, 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: 3 Apr 2030, 01:02 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 267.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2087; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1952.
