Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Mon 10 Sep 2029

Hartalika Teej’s puja is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Tritiya runs from 09:32 on Mon 10 Sep to 06:09 on Tue 11 Sep, between the two mornings’ pratahkala, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Mon 10 Sep. No text giving Hartalika Teej’s time was found; pratahkala is Tithika’s convention.

Hartalika Teej: every date in Pāthardi

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, 06:15 here. Pratipada ended at 12:57 Sun, before it. Dwitiya ends at 09:32, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 09:32 and ended at 06:09 Tue, between the sunrises of 06:15 and 06:16 Tue. Monday reads Dwitiya and Tuesday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 9 Sep ran from sunset 18:37 Sun to sunrise 06:15, 11 h 38 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 18:36, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:36 to 06:16 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 18:56, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 143.3° + 165.4° = 308.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 23:11, then Brahma.

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 23:15 Sun, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 09:32.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:16 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Oct, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 8 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada. This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada in both counts.

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 172.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
