Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Tue 13 Aug 2080

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 00:51 on Tue 13 Aug to 21:16 on Tue 13 Aug, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:57–21:12) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 21:16 on Tue 13 Aug to 17:30 on Wed 14 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:11 Wed–00:56 Wed) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:09 here. Dwadashi ended at 00:51, before it. Trayodashi ends at 21:16, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 12 Aug ran from sunset 18:58 Mon to sunrise 06:09, 11 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 18:57, 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, 18:57 to 06:10 Wed, 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 83°20′. It leaves at 22:03, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 116.2° + 83.4° = 199.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 06:48, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 11:05, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 21:16.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:10 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 06:52 Wed to 15 Aug 13:44 Thu the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 04:13 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2080, 17:37 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 139.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2137; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2002.
