Panchang in Mapleton, Utah, United States Thu 28 May 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:01 here. Dwadashi ended at 20:27 Wed, before it. Trayodashi ends at 22:21, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 27 May ran from sunset 20:45 Wed to sunrise 06:01, 9 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:01 to 20:46, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:46 to 06:00 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 190°. It leaves at 23:08, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 43° + 191.4° = 234.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 16:24, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 09:22, when the lead reaches 150°; Taitila until 22:21.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:01 to 06:00 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 14:01 Sat to 14 Jun 20:54 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 01:22 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: 18 Mar 2026, 19:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 68.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
