Panchang in Myshkin, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia Mon 3 Jun 2024

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 21:49 on Mon 3 Jun to 19:31 on Tue 4 Jun, so it touches only Monday’s pradosha (21:17–22:32). No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Myshkin

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 03:32 here. Ekadashi ended at 00:11, before it. Dwadashi ends at 21:49, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 23 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 2 Jun ran from sunset 21:15 Sun to sunrise 03:32, 6 h 17 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 25 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 03:32 to 21:17, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 13 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:17 to 03:31 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 46 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 21:34, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 48.7° + 2.6° = 51.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 06:40, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 11:00, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 21:49.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 03:32 to 03:31 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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, 6 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 6 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: 8 Apr 2024, 21:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 53.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
