Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Fri 13 Jun 2064

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 03:28 on Fri 13 Jun to 03:55 on Sat 14 Jun, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:08 Sat–00:51 Sat) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

Masik Shivratri: every date in Pāthardi

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, 05:51 here. Trayodashi ended at 03:28, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 03:55 Sat, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 12 Jun ran from sunset 19:07 Thu to sunrise 05:51, 10 h 44 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:51 to 19:07, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:07 to 05:51 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 33°20′. It leaves at 14:55, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 58.1° + 35.2° = 93.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 05:57, then Dhriti.

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 runs until 15:46, when the lead reaches 342°; Shakuni until 03:55 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:51 to 05:51 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 15:25 Fri to 15 Jun 03:51 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 06:36 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 15 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2064, 07:15 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 84.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2121; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1986.
