Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Wed 2 Feb 2022

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:18 here. Pratipada ended at 04:01, before it. Dwitiya ends at 01:46 Thu, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 1 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 07:08, came before Pratipada ended at 08:31: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 06:16 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

The night of Tue 1 Feb ran from sunset 16:47 Tue to sunrise 07:18, 14 h 31 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:18 to 16:48, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:48 to 07:16 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 300°. It leaves at 13:22, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 289.2° + 303° = 592.2°, one full turn and 232.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 19:28, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 14:49, when the lead reaches 18°; Kaulava until 01:46 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:18 to 07:16 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 2 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 1 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 12 Apr 2021, 04:30 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 290.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2078; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1943.
