Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Fri 3 Jul 1931

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 02:59 on Fri 3 Jul to 04:34 on Sat 4 Jul, so it holds moonrise only on Fri 3 Jul, at 22:21. 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, 03:50 here. Tritiya ended at 02:59, before it. Chaturthi ends at 04:34 Sat, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 02:59, before sunrise at 03:50, and ends at 04:34 Sat, after the next sunrise at 03:51 Sat. Both days read Chaturthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 2 Jul ran from sunset 19:56 Thu to sunrise 03:50, 7 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 31 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 03:50 to 19:55, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 0 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:55 to 03:51 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 59 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 05:17 Sat, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 77.3° + 293.7° = 371°, one full turn and 11°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 07:58, then Priti.

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 15:43, when the lead reaches 222°; Balava until 04:34 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 03:50 to 03:51 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 04:01 Tue to 15 Jul 13:19 Wed the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 10:51 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 15 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 1931, 08:50 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 102.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1988; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1853.
