Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sun 27 May 1990

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:51 here. Dwitiya ended at 09:55 Sat, before it. Tritiya ends at 06:50, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 24 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 06:50 and ended at 04:22 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:51 and 05:51 Mon. Sunday reads Tritiya and Monday reads Panchami: Chaturthi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 26 May ran from sunset 19:00 Sat to sunrise 05:51, 10 h 51 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:51 to 19:01, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:01 to 05:51 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 76°40′. It leaves at 10:30, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 41.8° + 77.2° = 119°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 07:29, then Ganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 20:19 Sat, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 06:50.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:51 to 05:51 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 24 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 1990, 01:18 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 59.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2047; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1912.
