Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sun 18 May 2025

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:04 here. Panchami ended at 02:28, before it. Shashthi ends at 02:42 Mon, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Sat 17 May ran from sunset 20:27 Sat to sunrise 05:04, 8 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:04 to 20:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 55 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:28 to 05:02 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 4 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 Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 273°20′. It leaves at 15:22, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 33.2° + 274.5° = 307.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 02:22 Mon, then Brahma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 14:39, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 02:42 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:04 to 05:02 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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 27 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 11:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 48.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
