Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Mon 17 Oct 2039

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 23:30 on Sun 16 Oct to 21:09 on Mon 17 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Mon 17 Oct, at 07:12. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Myjava

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:12 here. Chaturdashi ended at 22:30 Sun, before it. Amavasya ends at 20:09, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 16 Oct ran from sunset 16:58 Sun to sunrise 06:12, 13 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:12 to 16:56, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:56 to 06:14 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 170°. It leaves at 09:14, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 179.3° + 171.5° = 350.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 20:34, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 09:22, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 20:09.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:12 to 06:14 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Sep 09:23 Sun to 17 Oct 20:09 the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 18 Oct 23:25, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina itself.

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 17 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2039, 18:59 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 199.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2096; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1961.
