Panchang in Pendleton, Oregon, United States Mon 10 May 2027

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, 05:30 here. Chaturthi ended at 17:53 Sun, before it. Panchami ends at 15:18, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:34, came before Chaturthi ended at 06:23: this day reads Chaturthi. Panchami ends at 03:48 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Panchami: it is kshaya.

The night of Sun 9 May ran from sunset 20:12 Sun to sunrise 05:30, 9 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:30 to 20:13, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:13 to 05:28 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 76°40′. It leaves at 05:38, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 25.4° + 79.9° = 105.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 07:36, then Shula.

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 04:34, when the lead reached 54°; Balava runs until 15:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:30 to 05:28 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 6 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 2027, 16:51 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 32.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
