Panchang in Olean, New York, United States Tue 3 Mar 2026

Holi follows the tithi at sunrise. Pratipada runs from 06:37 on Tue 3 Mar to 06:19 on Wed 4 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 3 Mar, at 06:45.

Holi: every date in Olean

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:45 here. Purnima ended at 06:37, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:19 Wed, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 2 Mar ran from sunset 18:04 Mon to sunrise 06:45, 12 h 41 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:45 to 18:06, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:06 to 06:43 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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 21:09, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 318.7° + 138.7° = 457.4°, one full turn and 97.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 22:22, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 18:24, when the lead reaches 186°; Kaulava until 06:19 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:45 to 06:43 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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 18 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 06:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 333.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
