Panchang in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine Sat 22 May 2032

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 07:45 on Sat 22 May to 07:40 on Sun 23 May, so only Saturday’s pradosha (20:58–22:38) 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, 05:19 here. Ekadashi ended at 07:08 Fri, before it. Dwadashi ends at 07:45, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 21 May ran from sunset 20:57 Fri to sunrise 05:19, 8 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 33 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:19 to 20:58, 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, 20:58 to 05:18 Sun, 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 180°. It leaves at 17:38, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 37.3° + 180.1° = 217.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 21:31, 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 ended at 19:31 Fri, when the lead reached 138°; Balava runs until 07:45.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:19 to 05:18 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 9 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 10 Apr 2032, 05:39 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 40.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2089; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1954.
