Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Thu 15 Sep 2050

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:16 here. Trayodashi ended at 04:22 Wed, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 06:49, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 04:22 Wed, before sunrise at 06:16 Wed, and ends at 06:49, after the next sunrise at 06:16. Both days read Chaturdashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 14 Sep ran from sunset 18:32 Wed to sunrise 06:16, 11 h 44 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:16 to 18:31, 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 night here, 18:31 to 06:16 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 133°20′. It leaves at 04:43 Fri, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 147.8° + 135.6° = 283.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 00:49 Fri, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti ended at 17:35 Wed, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 06:49.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:16 to 06:16 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 17 Aug 17:17 Wed to 16 Sep 09:19 Fri the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 17 Sep 11:33 Sat, 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 16 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 2050, 06:11 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 169.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2107; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1972.
