Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Tue 2 Jan 2018

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:42 here. Purnima ended at 03:24, before it. Pratipada ends at 23:38, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 07:14, came before Purnima ended at 07:54: this day reads Purnima. Pratipada ends at 04:08 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Pratipada: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:42, came after Purnima ended at 03:24: this day reads Pratipada.

The night of Mon 1 Jan ran from sunset 16:03 Mon to sunrise 07:42, 15 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 2 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:42 to 16:04, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 2 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:04 to 07:42 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 57 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 1 at 80°. It leaves at 04:18 Wed, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 257.7° + 80.3° = 338°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 20:31, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 13:29, when the lead reaches 186°; Kaulava until 23:38.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:42 to 07:42 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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 17 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2017, 04:57 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 274.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
