Panchang in Saatlı, Azerbaijan Thu 5 Apr 2029

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:24 here. Shashthi ended at 12:35 Wed, before it. Saptami ends at 11:54, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 4 Apr ran from sunset 19:13 Wed to sunrise 06:24, 11 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 19:14, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:14 to 06:22 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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 4 at 250°. It leaves at 07:51, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 351.3° + 252.5° = 603.8°, one full turn and 243.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 22:34, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 00:08, when the lead reached 258°; Bava runs until 11:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:22 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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 20.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
