Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sun 13 Jun 1999

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 00:49 on Sun 13 Jun to 21:02 on Sun 13 Jun, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 13 Jun, at 04:46. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Myjava

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:46 here. Chaturdashi ended at 00:49, before it. Amavasya ends at 21:02, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 12 Jun ran from sunset 20:52 Sat to sunrise 04:46, 7 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 31 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:46 to 20:53, 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, 20:53 to 04:45 Mon, 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 46°40′. It leaves at 12:54, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 57.8° + 48.2° = 106°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 05:44, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 10:55, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 21:02.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:46 to 04:45 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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 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 84.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2056; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1921.
