Panchang in Mapleton, Utah, United States Thu 28 Jun 2029

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 18:16 on Thu 28 Jun to 18:29 on Fri 29 Jun, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 28 Jun, at 22:50. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Mapleton

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:59 here. Dwitiya ended at 18:42 Wed, before it. Tritiya ends at 18:16, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 25 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 27 Jun ran from sunset 20:59 Wed to sunrise 05:59, 9 h 0 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:59 to 20:59, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:59 to 06:00 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 280°. It leaves at 01:45 Fri, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 72.8° + 282.6° = 355.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 13:50, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 06:24, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 18:16.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:59 to 06:00 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 14 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 14 Mar 2029, 22:19 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 102.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
