Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Fri 7 Aug 1925

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 03:04 on Fri 7 Aug to 00:41 on Sat 8 Aug, so it holds moonrise only on Fri 7 Aug, at 21:14. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Myjava

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:30 here. Tritiya ended at 03:04, before it. Chaturthi ends at 00:41 Sat, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 4 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:45, came before Tritiya ended at 07:34: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 05:11 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 6 Aug ran from sunset 19:21 Thu to sunrise 04:30, 9 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:30 to 19:19, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:19 to 04:31 Sat, 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 326°40′. It leaves at 13:16, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 111.3° + 328.1° = 439.4°, one full turn and 79.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 05:29, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 13:48, when the lead reaches 222°; Balava until 00:41 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:30 to 04:31 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 19 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 1925, 15:02 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 130.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1982; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1847.
