Panchang in Progress, Amur Oblast, Russia Sun 25 Jun 2017

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:14 here. Amavasya ended at 11:30 Sat, before it. Pratipada ends at 07:51, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 24 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 24 Jun ran from sunset 20:32 Sat to sunrise 04:14, 7 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 30 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:14 to 20:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 2 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 04:14 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 57 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 05:27, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 69.4° + 79.2° = 148.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 21:27, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna ended at 21:39 Sat, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 07:51.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:14 to 04:14 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 Jul, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 24 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2017, 11:57 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 85.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
