Karwa Chauth: every date in Myjava

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 15:08 on Sat 27 Oct to 12:24 on Sun 28 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Sat 27 Oct, at 19:43. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Myjava

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:28 here. Dwitiya ended at 16:39 Fri, before it. Tritiya ends at 15:08, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 26 Oct ran from sunset 17:39 Fri to sunrise 07:28, 13 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:28 to 17:38, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:38 to 06:29 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 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 1 at 40°. It leaves at 02:53 Sun, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 189.6° + 41.5° = 231.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 21:46, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 03:55, when the lead reached 210°; Vishti runs until 15:08.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:28 to 06:29 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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 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 7 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2018, 14:11 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 216.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2075; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1940.
