Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sun 14 Feb 1926

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:58 here. Pratipada ended at 19:04 Sat, before it. Dwitiya ends at 15:30, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 13 Feb ran from sunset 18:28 Sat to sunrise 06:58, 12 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:58 to 18:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:28 to 06:58 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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 Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 320°. It leaves at 03:03 Mon, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 301.8° + 320.8° = 622.6°, one full turn and 262.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 13:03, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 05:15, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 15:30.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:58 to 06:58 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 12 Feb 22:50 Fri to 14 Mar 08:50 Sun the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 09:23 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna itself.

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 12 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 1925, 19:32 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 321.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1982; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1847.
