Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Thu 21 Oct 2094

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 05:28 on Thu 21 Oct to 02:10 on Fri 22 Oct, so only Thursday’s pradosha (17:47–20:30) falls within it. 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: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:19 here. Dwadashi ended at 04:28, before it. Trayodashi ends at 01:10 Fri, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:25, came before Dwadashi ended at 08:58: this day reads Dwadashi. Trayodashi ends at 05:40 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Trayodashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Wed 20 Oct ran from sunset 16:49 Wed to sunrise 06:19, 13 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:19 to 16:47, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:47 to 06:21 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 41 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 326°40′. It leaves at 14:32, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 183.2° + 328.2° = 511.4°, one full turn and 151.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 19:18, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 14:49, when the lead reaches 150°; Taitila until 01:10 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:19 to 06:21 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 18 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2094, 16:46 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 211.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2151; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2016.
