Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sun 12 Sep 2094

Hartalika Teej’s puja is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Tritiya runs from 06:25 on Sun 12 Sep to 08:14 on Mon 13 Sep, touching pratahkala on both mornings. The Nirnayasindhu takes the morning it holds more of: Sun 12 Sep. No text giving Hartalika Teej’s time was found; pratahkala is Tithika’s convention.

Hartalika Teej: every date in Pāthardi

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, 06:16 here. Pratipada ended at 04:20 Sat, before it. Dwitiya ends at 06:25, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 10 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 04:20 Sat, before sunrise at 06:16 Sat, and ends at 06:25, after the next sunrise at 06:16. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 11 Sep ran from sunset 18:35 Sat to sunrise 06:16, 11 h 41 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:16 to 18:34, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:34 to 06:16 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 166°40′. It leaves at 15:42, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 144.6° + 168.6° = 313.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 18:43, then Brahma.

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 17:24 Sat, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 06:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:16 to 06:16 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Oct, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 10 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada. This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2094, 21:16 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 173.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2151; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2016.
