Panchang in Myshkin, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia Fri 6 Jul 2040

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 05:12 on Fri 6 Jul to 07:23 on Sat 7 Jul, so only Friday’s pradosha (21:25–22:39) falls within it. 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, 03:35 here. Ekadashi ended at 03:21 Thu, before it. Dwadashi ends at 05:12, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 03:21 Thu, before sunrise at 03:34 Thu, and ends at 05:12, after the next sunrise at 03:35. Both days read Dwadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 5 Jul ran from sunset 21:26 Thu to sunrise 03:35, 6 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 24 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 03:35 to 21:25, 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, 21:25 to 03:37 Sat, 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 43°20′. It leaves at 23:29, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 80.2° + 43.4° = 123.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 21:43, then Vriddhi.

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 ended at 16:14 Thu, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 05:12.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 03:35 to 03:37 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 2040, 17:00 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 82.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2097; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1962.
