Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Wed 20 Jun 2091

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:52 here. Dwitiya ended at 08:30 Tue, before it. Tritiya ends at 08:04, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 19 Jun ran from sunset 19:09 Tue to sunrise 05:52, 10 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:52 to 19:09, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 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 05:52 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 96°40′. It leaves at 20:10, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 63.9° + 98.7° = 162.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 23:53, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 20:20 Tue, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 08:04.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:52 to 05:52 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jun 08:12 Sun to 16 Jul 19:47 Mon the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 15:22 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 17 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2091, 09:17 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 89.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2148; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2013.
