Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Tue 20 Jul 2088

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:02 here. Pratipada ended at 10:42 Mon, before it. Dwitiya ends at 07:38, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 07:38 and ended at 05:07 Wed, between the sunrises of 06:02 and 06:02 Wed. Tuesday reads Dwitiya and Wednesday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 19 Jul ran from sunset 19:09 Mon to sunrise 06:02, 10 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:02 to 19:09, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:09 to 06:02 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 113°20′. It leaves at 12:07, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 93.2° + 116.3° = 209.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 11:55, then Vyatipata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 21:07 Mon, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 07:38.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:02 to 06:02 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 18 Jul 14:10 Sun to 16 Aug 21:46 Mon the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 05:27 Tue, 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 18 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2088, 05:31 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 115° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2145; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2010.
