Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sun 18 Dec 2050

Vivah Panchami follows the tithi at sunrise. Panchami runs from 04:57 on Sun 18 Dec to 02:55 on Mon 19 Dec, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 18 Dec, at 06:56. No text giving Vivah Panchami’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Vivah Panchami: every date in Pāthardi

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:56 here. Chaturthi ended at 04:57, before it. Panchami ends at 02:55 Mon, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 17 Dec ran from sunset 17:54 Sat to sunrise 06:56, 13 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:56 to 17:55, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:55 to 06:56 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 290°. It leaves at 11:14, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 241.7° + 290.8° = 532.5°, one full turn and 172.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 08:12, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 15:57, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 02:55 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:56 to 06:56 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 14 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

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 263.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2107; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1972.
