Panchang in Pendleton, Oregon, United States Thu 13 Feb 2025

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:59 here. Pratipada ended at 06:52, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:22 Fri, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 06:52, before sunrise at 06:59, and ends at 08:22 Fri, after the next sunrise at 06:58 Fri. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 12 Feb ran from sunset 17:18 Wed to sunrise 06:59, 13 h 41 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:59 to 17:19, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:19 to 06:58 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 42 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 4 at 130°. It leaves at 07:37, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 300.9° + 133° = 433.9°, one full turn and 73.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 17:50, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 19:33, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 08:22 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:59 to 06:58 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 27 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 11:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 305.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
