Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Fri 22 Jun 2091

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:52 here. Chaturthi ended at 07:18 Thu, before it. Panchami ends at 06:11, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 06:11 and ended at 04:46 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:52 and 05:52 Sat. Friday reads Panchami and Saturday reads Saptami: Shashthi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 21 Jun ran from sunset 19:09 Thu 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 19:10, 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, 19:10 to 05:52 Sat, 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 123°20′. It leaves at 19:25, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 65.8° + 125.6° = 191.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 19:59, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 18:47 Thu, when the lead reached 54°; Balava runs until 06:11.

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

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 91.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2148; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2013.
