Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Wed 27 Feb 1924

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:51 here. Shashthi ended at 10:05 Tue, before it. Saptami ends at 07:50, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 20 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 07:50 and ended at 05:41 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:51 and 06:50 Thu. Wednesday reads Saptami and Thursday reads Navami: Ashtami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 26 Feb ran from sunset 18:33 Tue to sunrise 06:51, 12 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:51 to 18:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:33 to 06:50 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 216°40′. It leaves at 21:45, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 314.4° + 217.8° = 532.2°, one full turn and 172.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 08:34, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 20:57 Tue, when the lead reached 258°; Bava runs until 07:50.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:51 to 06:50 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 5 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 5 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1923, 18:21 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 341.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1980; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1845.
