Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sat 3 Aug 2002

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, 05:25 here. Navami ended at 02:56, before it. Dashami ends at 03:51 Sun, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 2 Aug ran from sunset 20:26 Fri to sunrise 05:25, 8 h 59 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:25 to 20:25, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:25 to 05:26 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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 13:16, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 106.8° + 35.9° = 142.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 12:34, then Dhruva.

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 runs until 15:29, when the lead reaches 294°; Vishti until 03:51 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:25 to 05:26 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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, 8 Aug, 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 8 Aug, 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: 12 Apr 2002, 21:21 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 108° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2059; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1924.
