Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Tue 12 Nov 1963

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, 06:34 here. Ekadashi ended at 03:08, before it. Dwadashi ends at 05:05 Wed, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 11 Nov ran from sunset 17:52 Mon to sunrise 06:34, 12 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:34 to 17:51, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:51 to 06:35 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 156°40′. It leaves at 08:13, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 205.6° + 159.2° = 364.8°, one full turn and 4.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 22:18, then Priti.

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 runs until 16:04, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 05:05 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:34 to 06:35 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Oct 18:12 Thu to 16 Nov 12:20 Sat the Sun stayed in Tula, entering Vrishchika at 16 Nov 16:09 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Kartika, before Kartika 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 16 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika (Adhik) here, and Kartika (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1963, 17:39 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 224.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2020; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1885.
