Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sat 15 Feb 2025

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 19:22 on Sat 15 Feb to 21:46 on Sun 16 Feb, touching moonrise on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the earlier day: Sat 15 Feb. 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, 06:57 here. Dwitiya ended at 17:22 Fri, before it. Tritiya ends at 19:22, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 14 Feb ran from sunset 17:09 Fri to sunrise 06:57, 13 h 48 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:57 to 17:10, 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, 17:10 to 06:55 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 150°. It leaves at 21:09, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 302.6° + 152.9° = 455.5°, one full turn and 95.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 03:35 Sun, then Shula.

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 06:19, when the lead reached 210°; Vishti runs until 19:22.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:57 to 06:55 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 28 Feb, 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 28 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 20:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 307.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
