Panchang in Mapleton, Utah, United States Sun 28 Mar 2032

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:15 here. Pratipada ended at 19:47 Sat, before it. Dwitiya ends at 20:24, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 26 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 27 Mar ran from sunset 19:46 Sat to sunrise 07:15, 11 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:15 to 19:47, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:47 to 07:14 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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 16:40, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 344.1° + 181.7° = 525.8°, one full turn and 165.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 20:27, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 08:08, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 20:24.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:15 to 07:14 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2031, 21:49 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 366.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
