Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Mon 13 Apr 2048

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 09:37 on Sun 12 Apr to 10:49 on Mon 13 Apr, so it holds sunrise only on Mon 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 09:37 Sun, before it. Amavasya ends at 10:49, 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 Sun 12 Apr ran from sunset 18:46 Sun to sunrise 06:13, 11 h 27 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 Tue, 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 4 at 356°40′. It leaves at 11:56, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 359.2° + 357.1° = 716.3°, one full turn and 356.3°. 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 12:53, 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 ended at 22:10 Sun, when the lead reached 354°; Nagava runs until 10:49.

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

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Mar 19:57 Sat to 13 Apr 10:49 the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 00:47 Tue, 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 13 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: 14 Mar 2048, 19:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 29° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2105; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1970.
