Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Mon 2 Jun 1975

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 03:50 here. Saptami ended at 11:12 Sun, before it. Ashtami ends at 13:33, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 25 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 1 Jun ran from sunset 19:43 Sun to sunrise 03:50, 8 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 32 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 03:50 to 19:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 59 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:44 to 03:50 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 0 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 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 05:47, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 47.5° + 319° = 366.5°, one full turn and 6.5°. 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 16:37, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 00:22, when the lead reached 270°; Kaulava runs until 13:33.

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

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 1975, 17:38 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 49.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2032; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1897.
