Panchang in Mapleton, Utah, United States Tue 1 Feb 2033

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:34 here. Pratipada ended at 11:35 Mon, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:07, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 30 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 08:07 and ended at 04:46 Wed, between the sunrises of 07:34 and 07:33 Wed. Tuesday reads Dwitiya and Wednesday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 31 Jan ran from sunset 17:44 Mon to sunrise 07:34, 13 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:34 to 17:45, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:45 to 07:33 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 310°. It leaves at 19:43, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 288.7° + 312.4° = 601.1°, one full turn and 241.1°. 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 01:52 Wed, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 21:50 Mon, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 08:07.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:34 to 07:33 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 30 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2032, 20:39 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 292.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2089; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1954.
