Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Tue 22 Feb 1983

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:46 here. Navami ended at 04:10, before it. Dashami ends at 01:56 Wed, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:54, came before Navami ended at 08:40: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 06:26 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.

The night of Mon 21 Feb ran from sunset 17:19 Mon to sunrise 06:46, 13 h 27 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:46 to 17:20, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 19 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:20 to 06:44 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 40 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 56°40′. It leaves at 19:59, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 309.4° + 58.8° = 368.2°, one full turn and 8.2°. 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 14:48, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 15:07, when the lead reaches 114°; Garaja until 01:56 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:46 to 06:44 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 13 Feb 01:31 Sun to 14 Mar 18:43 Mon the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 19:44 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna 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 13 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1982, 11:17 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 328.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
