Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Wed 4 Sep 2086

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:14 here. Ekadashi ended at 00:52, before it. Dwadashi ends at 01:49 Thu, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 3 Sep ran from sunset 18:42 Tue to sunrise 06:14, 11 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:14 to 18:41, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:41 to 06:15 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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 4 at 90°. It leaves at 09:41, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 136.9° + 91.5° = 228.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 02:49 Thu, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 13:17, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 01:49 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:14 to 06:15 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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, 8 Sep, 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 8 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2086, 13:35 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 166.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
