Panchang in Saatlı, Azerbaijan Tue 5 Mar 2024

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:13 here. Navami ended at 06:34, before it. Dashami ends at 05:01 Wed, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:41, came before Navami ended at 08:04: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 06:31 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:13, came after Navami ended at 06:34: this day reads Dashami.

The night of Mon 4 Mar ran from sunset 18:41 Mon to sunrise 07:13, 12 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:13 to 18:42, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:42 to 07:11 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 246°40′. It leaves at 14:29, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 320.8° + 249.2° = 570°, one full turn and 210°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 12:38, then Vyatipata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 17:53, when the lead reaches 294°; Vishti until 05:01 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:13 to 07:11 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 10 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 21:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 344.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
