Panchang in Saatlı, Azerbaijan Tue 10 Jan 2023

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 10:40 on Tue 10 Jan to 13:01 on Wed 11 Jan, so it holds moonrise only on Tue 10 Jan, at 20:51. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Saatlı

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, 08:07 here. Dwitiya ended at 08:09 Mon, before it. Tritiya ends at 10:40, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 9 Jan ran from sunset 17:39 Mon to sunrise 08:07, 14 h 28 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:07 to 17:40, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:40 to 08:07 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 120°. It leaves at 10:20 Wed, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 265.5° + 120.3° = 385.8°, one full turn and 25.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 09:49, then Ayushmana.

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 21:25 Mon, when the lead reached 210°; Vishti runs until 10:40.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:07 to 08:07 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 22 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 22 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 1 Apr 2022, 10:24 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 278.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2079; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1944.
