Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Fri 13 Apr 2029

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 00:42 on Fri 13 Apr to 03:10 on Sat 14 Apr, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 13 Apr, at 06:13. No text giving Amavasya’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, 06:13 here. Chaturdashi ended at 00:42, before it. Amavasya ends at 03:10 Sat, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 12 Apr ran from sunset 18:45 Thu to sunrise 06:13, 11 h 28 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:13 to 18:46, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:46 to 06:12 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 346°40′. It leaves at 03:13 Sat, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 359.1° + 349.6° = 708.7°, one full turn and 348.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 03:16 Sat, then Vishkambha.

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 13:56, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 03:10 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:13 to 06:12 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 09:49 Thu to 14 Apr 03:10 Sat the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 03:54 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 14 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 09:49 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 28.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
