Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Mon 7 Sep 2037

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 06:45 on Mon 7 Sep to 03:42 on Tue 8 Sep, so only Monday’s pradosha (19:18–21:30) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Myjava

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 03:42 on Tue 8 Sep to 00:12 on Wed 9 Sep, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Mon 7 Sep. 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: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:15 here. Ekadashi ended at 09:13 Sun, before it. Dwadashi ends at 06:45, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 25 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Trayodashi began at 06:45 and ended at 03:42 Tue, between the sunrises of 06:15 and 06:16 Tue. Monday reads Dwadashi and Tuesday reads Chaturdashi: Trayodashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 6 Sep ran from sunset 19:21 Sun to sunrise 06:15, 10 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 19:18, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:18 to 06:16 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 103°20′. It leaves at 10:15, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 140.5° + 104.2° = 244.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 19:26, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 20:04 Sun, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 06:45.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:16 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 9 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2037, 00:36 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 168.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2094; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1959.
