Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Tue 31 Dec 2075

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:02 here. Saptami ended at 06:27 Mon, before it. Ashtami ends at 07:04, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 07:04 and ended at 06:54 Wed, between the sunrises of 07:02 and 07:02 Wed. Tuesday reads Ashtami and Wednesday reads Dashami: Navami is a kshaya tithi here.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 06:27 Mon, before sunrise at 07:01 Mon, and ends at 07:04, after the next sunrise at 07:02. Both days read Ashtami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

Sunrise here, 07:13, came after Ashtami ended at 07:04: this day reads Navami.

Pāthardi · IST

Sunrise here, 07:02, came before Ashtami ended at 07:04: this day reads Ashtami. Navami ends at 06:54 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Navami: it is kshaya.

The night of Mon 30 Dec ran from sunset 18:01 Mon to sunrise 07:02, 13 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:02 to 18:01, 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, 18:01 to 07:02 Wed, 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 170°. It leaves at 12:13, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 254.6° + 170.5° = 425.1°, one full turn and 65.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 09:45, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 18:51 Mon, when the lead reached 270°; Kaulava runs until 07:04.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:02 to 07:02 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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, 6 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 6 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, begins Pausha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Pausha here, and Margashirsha 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 283.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2132; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1997.
