Panchang in Myshkin, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia Fri 6 Feb 2015

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:18 here. Dwitiya ended at 07:08, before it. Tritiya ends at 09:51 Sat, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 4 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 07:08, before sunrise at 08:18, and ends at 09:51 Sat, after the next sunrise at 08:16 Sat. Both days read Tritiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 5 Feb ran from sunset 16:59 Thu to sunrise 08:18, 15 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 1 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:18 to 17:01, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 5 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:01 to 08:16 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 54 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 Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 136°40′. It leaves at 02:52 Sat, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 293° + 137.5° = 430.5°, one full turn and 70.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 02:00 Sat, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 20:29, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 09:51 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:18 to 08:16 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 2014, 22:44 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 307.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2071; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1936.
