Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sun 30 Jul 2000

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya begins at 08:03 on Sun 30 Jul, after that sunrise, and ends at 04:25 on Mon 31 Jul, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Sun 30 Jul. 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: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:20 here. Trayodashi ended at 11:39 Sat, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 08:03, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 16 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 08:03 and ended at 04:25 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:20 and 05:21 Mon. Sunday reads Chaturdashi and Monday reads Pratipada: Amavasya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 29 Jul ran from sunset 20:31 Sat to sunrise 05:20, 8 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:20 to 20:30, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 53 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:30 to 05:21 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 6 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 86°40′. It leaves at 10:56, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 103.4° + 89.8° = 193.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 15:27, then Siddhi.

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 ended at 21:52 Sat, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 08:03.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:20 to 05:21 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 31 Jul, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 31 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 4 Apr 2000, 20:12 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 112° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2057; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1922.
