Panchang in Olean, New York, United States Wed 18 Aug 2027

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:24 here. Pratipada ended at 05:46, before it. Dwitiya ends at 07:46 Thu, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 17 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 05:46, before sunrise at 06:24, and ends at 07:46 Thu, after the next sunrise at 06:25 Thu. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 17 Aug ran from sunset 20:11 Tue to sunrise 06:24, 10 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 20:09, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:09 to 06:25 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 310°. It leaves at 19:45, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 121° + 313.3° = 434.3°, one full turn and 74.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 16:52, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 18:48, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 07:46 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:25 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 31 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 31 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 2027, 19:51 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 128.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
