Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sat 19 Aug 2062

The rakhi is tied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day, outside bhadra. Purnima runs from 07:26 on Sat 19 Aug to 09:26 on Sun 20 Aug, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:49–16:21) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 20:28, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 20:28.

Raksha Bandhan muhurat: the time after bhadra, at 20:28.

Raksha Bandhan: every date in Pāthardi

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:11 here. Trayodashi ended at 05:12 Fri, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 07:26, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 05:12 Fri, before sunrise at 06:11 Fri, and ends at 07:26, after the next sunrise at 06:11. Both days read Chaturdashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 18 Aug ran from sunset 18:54 Fri to sunrise 06:11, 11 h 17 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:11 to 18:54, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:54 to 06:11 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 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 3 at 286°40′. It leaves at 14:44, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 121.6° + 289.1° = 410.7°, one full turn and 50.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 11:05, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 18:20 Fri, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 07:26.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:11 to 06:11 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 5 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2062, 22:47 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 126.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2119; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1984.
