Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sat 31 May 2042

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi began at 18:59 on Sat 31 May, before that evening’s pradosha, and ended at 20:47 on Sun 1 Jun, partway into the next. The Nirnayasindhu takes the evening Trayodashi fills: Sat 31 May. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Myjava

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 03:51 here. Ekadashi ended at 15:46 Fri, before it. Dwadashi ends at 17:59, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 19 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 30 May ran from sunset 19:42 Fri to sunrise 03:51, 8 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 32 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 03:51 to 19:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 59 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:43 to 03:50 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 0 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 3 at 180°. It leaves at 11:27, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 45.4° + 182.9° = 228.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 01:36 Sun, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 04:55, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 17:59.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 03:51 to 03:50 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 19 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2042, 18:23 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 68.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2099; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1964.
