Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Tue 2 Sep 2031

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:14 here. Purnima ended at 14:50 Mon, before it. Pratipada ends at 11:57, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 1 Sep ran from sunset 18:44 Mon to sunrise 06:14, 11 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:14 to 18:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:43 to 06:14 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 21:59, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 135.1° + 323.9° = 459°, one full turn and 99°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 18:15, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 01:20, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 11:57.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:14 to 06:14 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 18 Aug 10:02 Mon to 17 Sep 00:16 Wed the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 17 Sep 14:49 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 17 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) here, and Bhadrapada (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 09:19 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 157.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
