Panchang in Pendleton, Oregon, United States Wed 27 May 2026

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi began at 19:27 on Wed 27 May, before that evening’s pradosha, and ended at 21:21 on Thu 28 May, partway into the next. The Nirnayasindhu takes the evening Trayodashi fills: Wed 27 May. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Pendleton

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:12 here. Ekadashi ended at 17:52 Tue, before it. Dwadashi ends at 19:27, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 26 May ran from sunset 20:32 Tue to sunrise 05:12, 8 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:12 to 20:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 55 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:33 to 05:11 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 4 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 176°40′. It leaves at 19:38, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 42° + 179.3° = 221.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 14:55, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 06:37, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 19:27.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:12 to 05:11 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 16 May 13:01 Sat to 14 Jun 19:54 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 00:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 18:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 67.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
