Panchang in Myshkin, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia Sun 7 Feb 2027

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:16 here. Amavasya ended at 18:56 Sat, before it. Pratipada ends at 20:57, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 6 Feb ran from sunset 17:02 Sat to sunrise 08:16, 15 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 0 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:16 to 17:04, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 6 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:04 to 08:14 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 53 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 300°. It leaves at 21:19, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 294° + 300.1° = 594.1°, one full turn and 234.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 19:11, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna ended at 07:59, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 20:57.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:16 to 08:14 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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, 8 Mar, 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 6 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 04:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 319.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
