Panchang in Myshkin, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia Tue 8 Jun 2021

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 08:54 on Tue 8 Jun to 11:28 on Wed 9 Jun, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:12 Wed–00:37 Wed) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

Masik Shivratri: every date in Myshkin

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 03:27 here. Dwadashi ended at 06:18 Mon, before it. Trayodashi ends at 08:54, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 26 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 7 Jun ran from sunset 21:22 Mon to sunrise 03:27, 6 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 24 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 03:27 to 21:23, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 14 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:23 to 03:27 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 45 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 26°40′. It leaves at 06:14 Wed, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 53.3° + 26.8° = 80.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 04:16 Wed, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 19:36 Mon, when the lead reached 330°; Vanija runs until 08:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 03:27 to 03:27 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 10 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 12 Apr 2021, 05:30 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 55° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2078; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1943.
