Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sat 28 Jul 2074

Nag Panchami follows the tithi at sunrise. Panchami begins at 07:11 on Sat 28 Jul, after that sunrise, and ends at 05:48 on Sun 29 Jul, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Sat 28 Jul. No text giving Nag Panchami’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Nag Panchami: every date in Pāthardi

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:04 here. Tritiya ended at 08:11 Fri, before it. Chaturthi ends at 07:11, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 24 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Panchami began at 07:11 and ended at 05:48 Sun, between the sunrises of 06:04 and 06:05 Sun. Saturday reads Chaturthi and Sunday reads Shashthi: Panchami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 27 Jul ran from sunset 19:07 Fri to sunrise 06:04, 10 h 57 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:04 to 19:06, 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 night here, 19:06 to 06:05 Sun, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 146°40′. It leaves at 03:20 Sun, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 100.5° + 147.9° = 248.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 14:16, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 19:44 Fri, when the lead reached 42°; Vishti runs until 07:11.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:04 to 06:05 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, 22 Aug, 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 24 Jul, 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: 27 Mar 2074, 19:50 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 118.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2131; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1996.
