Panchang in Platnirovskaya, Krasnodar Krai, Russia Thu 22 Aug 2024

Kajari Teej follows the tithi at sunrise. Tritiya runs from 14:37 on Wed 21 Aug to 11:16 on Thu 22 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 22 Aug, at 05:32. No text giving Kajari Teej’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 11:16 on Thu 22 Aug to 08:09 on Fri 23 Aug, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 22 Aug, at 20:38. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:32 here. Dwitiya ended at 14:37 Wed, before it. Tritiya ends at 11:16, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 19 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 21 Aug ran from sunset 19:19 Wed to sunrise 05:32, 10 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:32 to 19:17, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:17 to 05:33 Fri, 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 Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 336°40′. It leaves at 19:35, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 125.3° + 338° = 463.3°, one full turn and 103.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 10:40, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 00:55, when the lead reached 210°; Vishti runs until 11:16.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:32 to 05:33 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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 3 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 21:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 130.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
