Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sun 17 Apr 2022

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, 05:55 here. Purnima ended at 20:55 Sat, before it. Pratipada ends at 18:32, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 16 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 16 Apr ran from sunset 19:42 Sat to sunrise 05:55, 10 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:55 to 19:44, 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 night here, 19:44 to 05:53 Mon, 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 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 1 at 186°40′. It leaves at 02:03 Mon, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 3° + 187.9° = 190.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 20:09, then Siddhi.

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 07:45, when the lead reaches 186°; Kaulava until 18:32.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:55 to 05:53 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 30 Apr, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 30 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha here, and Chaitra in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 1 Apr 2022, 08:24 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 15.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2079; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1944.
