Panchang in Scheßlitz, Bavaria, Germany Sat 29 Aug 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:26 here. Purnima ended at 06:18 Fri, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:27, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 06:27 and ended at 06:07 Sun, between the sunrises of 06:26 and 06:27 Sun. Saturday reads Pratipada and Sunday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 06:18 Fri, before sunrise at 06:24 Fri, and ends at 06:27, after the next sunrise at 06:26. Both days read Pratipada: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 28 Aug ran from sunset 20:08 Fri to sunrise 06:26, 10 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:26 to 20:06, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 42 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:06 to 06:27 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 00:12 Sun, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 131.6° + 323.6° = 455.2°, one full turn and 95.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 01:51 Sun, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 18:26 Fri, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 06:27.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:26 to 06:27 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 02:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 157.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
