Panchang in Saatlı, Azerbaijan Wed 2 Sep 2015

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:14 here. Tritiya ended at 12:54 Tue, before it. Chaturthi ends at 09:47, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Panchami began at 09:47 and ended at 07:06 Thu, between the sunrises of 07:14 and 07:15 Thu. Wednesday reads Chaturthi and Thursday reads Shashthi: Panchami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 1 Sep ran from sunset 20:18 Tue to sunrise 07:14, 10 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:14 to 20:17, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:17 to 07:15 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 02:18 Thu, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 135.2° + 1.8° = 137°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 22:08, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 23:17 Tue, when the lead reached 222°; Balava runs until 09:47.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:14 to 07:15 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 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 13 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: 20 Mar 2015, 13:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 159.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
