Panchang in Olean, New York, United States Mon 29 Nov 2032

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 15:31 on Mon 29 Nov to 16:17 on Tue 30 Nov, so only Monday’s pradosha (16:43–19:38) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Olean

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, 07:20 here. Ekadashi ended at 14:05 Sun, before it. Dwadashi ends at 15:31, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 17 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 28 Nov ran from sunset 16:43 Sun to sunrise 07:20, 14 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:20 to 16:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:43 to 07:21 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 183°20′. It leaves at 13:13, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 223.5° + 183.6° = 407.1°, one full turn and 47.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 18:23, 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 ended at 02:52, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 15:31.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:20 to 07:21 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 15 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 2 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 2 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2032, 22:39 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 227° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2089; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1954.
