Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Thu 13 Oct 2039

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:22 here. Navami ended at 05:21 Wed, before it. Dashami ends at 06:24, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 05:21 Wed, before sunrise at 06:22 Wed, and ends at 06:24, after the next sunrise at 06:22. Both days read Dashami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 12 Oct ran from sunset 18:08 Wed to sunrise 06:22, 12 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:22 to 18:08, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:08 to 06:23 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 113°20′. It leaves at 15:33, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 175.1° + 115.1° = 290.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 11:44, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 17:58 Wed, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 06:24.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:22 to 06:23 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Sep 13:53 Sun to 18 Oct 00:39 Tue the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 18 Oct 03:55 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 18 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2039, 23:29 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 195.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2096; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1961.
