Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Tue 14 Nov 2028

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 23:11 on Mon 13 Nov to 20:05 on Tue 14 Nov, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (16:10–19:07) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 20:05 on Tue 14 Nov to 17:04 on Wed 15 Nov, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:04–00:04 Wed) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:57 here. Dwadashi ended at 23:11 Mon, before it. Trayodashi ends at 20:05, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 13 Nov ran from sunset 16:11 Mon to sunrise 06:57, 14 h 46 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 59 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:57 to 16:10, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:10 to 06:59 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 173°20′. It leaves at 23:19, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 208.1° + 176.6° = 384.7°, one full turn and 24.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 09:55, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 09:38, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 20:05.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:57 to 06:59 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 16 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 26 Mar 2028, 06:31 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 226.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
