Panchang in Saatlı, Azerbaijan Tue 3 Apr 2029

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 228°–240° is the 20th, Krishna Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:27 here. Chaturthi ended at 16:19 Mon, before it. Panchami ends at 14:04, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 2 Apr ran from sunset 19:11 Mon to sunrise 06:27, 11 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:27 to 19:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:12 to 06:25 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 223°20′. It leaves at 08:57, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 349.4° + 225.2° = 574.6°, one full turn and 214.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 01:54 Wed, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 03:06, when the lead reached 234°; Taitila runs until 14:04.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:27 to 06:25 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 08:19 Thu to 14 Apr 01:40 Sat the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 02:24 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra itself.

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 14 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 08:19 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 18.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
