Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Wed 11 Jun 1980

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 03:07 on Wed 11 Jun to 00:42 on Thu 12 Jun, so it touches only Wednesday night’s nishitha (00:33 Thu–01:05 Thu). No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

Masik Shivratri: every date in Myjava

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:46 here. Trayodashi ended at 03:07, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 00:42 Thu, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Sunrise here, 05:22, came before Trayodashi ended at 06:37: this day reads Trayodashi. Chaturdashi ends at 04:12 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturdashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Tue 10 Jun ran from sunset 20:51 Tue to sunrise 04:46, 7 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 31 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:46 to 20:52, 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, 20:52 to 04:46 Thu, 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 33°20′. It leaves at 15:22, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 56.7° + 33.7° = 90.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 09:20, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti runs until 13:53, when the lead reaches 342°; Shakuni until 00:42 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:46 to 04:46 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 May 14:00 Wed to 12 Jun 22:38 Thu the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 14 Jun 14:25 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 12 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 1980, 19:55 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 83.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2037; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1902.
