Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Wed 9 Jun 1999

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:47 here. Navami ended at 16:25 Tue, before it. Dashami ends at 14:15, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 8 Jun ran from sunset 20:50 Tue to sunrise 04:47, 7 h 57 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 31 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:47 to 20:50, 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, 20:50 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 346°40′. It leaves at 23:36, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 54° + 348.8° = 402.8°, one full turn and 42.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 21:22, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 03:25, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 14:15.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:47 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 15 May 14:05 Sat to 13 Jun 21:02 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 11:08 Tue, 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 13 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: 17 Mar 1999, 19:47 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 81.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2056; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1921.
