Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Fri 2 Jun 2000

Vat Savitri Vrat follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 21:09 on Thu 1 Jun to 17:43 on Fri 2 Jun, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 2 Jun, at 05:50. No text giving Vat Savitri Vrat’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Pāthardi

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:50 here. Chaturdashi ended at 21:09 Thu, before it. Amavasya ends at 17:43, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 18 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 1 Jun ran from sunset 19:03 Thu to sunrise 05:50, 10 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:50 to 19:03, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:03 to 05:50 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 40°. It leaves at 01:36 Sat, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 47.9° + 41° = 88.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 12:31, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 07:28, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 17:43.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:50 to 05:50 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 2 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 4 Apr 2000, 23:42 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 56.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2057; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1922.
