Panchang in Saatlı, Azerbaijan Wed 1 Nov 2034

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:15 here. Panchami ended at 23:39 Tue, before it. Shashthi ends at 21:27, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 31 Oct ran from sunset 17:45 Tue to sunrise 07:15, 13 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:15 to 17:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:44 to 07:16 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 41 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 76°40′. It leaves at 09:31, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 194.4° + 78.6° = 273°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 18:12, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 10:28, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 21:27.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:15 to 07:16 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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 11 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2034, 14:14 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 218.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2091; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1956.
