Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Mon 6 May 2075

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:58 here. Panchami ended at 08:41 Sun, before it. Shashthi ends at 06:17, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 06:17 and ended at 04:19 Tue, between the sunrises of 05:58 and 05:57 Tue. Monday reads Shashthi and Tuesday reads Ashtami: Saptami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 5 May ran from sunset 18:53 Sun to sunrise 05:58, 11 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:58 to 18:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:53 to 05:57 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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 Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 270°. It leaves at 18:36, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 20.7° + 272.6° = 293.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 05:59, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 19:26 Sun, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 06:17.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:58 to 05:57 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Apr 14:26 Mon to 15 May 04:53 Wed the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 15 May 19:39 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) here, and Vaishakha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2075, 00:56 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 49.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2132; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1997.
