Panchang in Şefaatlı, Yozgat, Turkey Sat 24 Aug 2024

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, 06:01 here. Panchami ended at 05:22, before it. Shashthi ends at 03:01 Sun, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 19 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:55, came before Panchami ended at 07:52: this day reads Panchami. Shashthi ends at 05:31 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Shashthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:01, came after Panchami ended at 05:22: this day reads Shashthi.

The night of Fri 23 Aug ran from sunset 19:24 Fri to sunrise 06:01, 10 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:01 to 19:23, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 40 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:23 to 06:02 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 19 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 6°40′. It leaves at 15:35, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 127.2° + 7.6° = 134.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 00:36 Sun, then Dhruva.

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 16:08, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 03:01 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:01 to 06:02 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 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 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 3 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: 8 Apr 2024, 21:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 132° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
