Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Tue 8 Oct 2002

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:58 here. Dwitiya ended at 05:45, before it. Tritiya ends at 02:28 Wed, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:17, came before Dwitiya ended at 09:15: this day reads Dwitiya. Tritiya ends at 05:58 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Tritiya: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:58, came after Dwitiya ended at 05:45: this day reads Tritiya.

The night of Mon 7 Oct ran from sunset 18:16 Mon to sunrise 06:58, 12 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:58 to 18:14, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:14 to 07:00 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 193°20′. It leaves at 14:04, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 170.9° + 195.6° = 366.5°, one full turn and 6.5°. 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 17:22, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 16:03, when the lead reaches 30°; Garaja until 02:28 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:58 to 07:00 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 6 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

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 172.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2059; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1924.
