Panchang in Phuntsholing, Chukha, Bhutan Mon 25 May 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:10 here. Navami ended at 05:01, before it. Dashami ends at 05:41 Tue, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 05:01, before sunrise at 05:10, and ends at 05:41 Tue, after the next sunrise at 05:10 Tue. Both days read Dashami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 24 May ran from sunset 18:47 Sun to sunrise 05:10, 10 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:10 to 18:48, 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 night here, 18:48 to 05:10 Tue, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 146°40′. It leaves at 04:38 Tue, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 39.6° + 147.6° = 187.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 03:45 Tue, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 17:17, when the lead reaches 114°; Garaja until 05:41 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:10 to 05:10 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 May 02:01 Sun to 15 Jun 08:54 Mon the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 13:22 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 17 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: 19 Mar 2026, 07:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 65.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
