Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 3 Oct 1904

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 276°–288° is the 24th, Krishna Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:57 here. Ashtami ended at 04:19, before it. Navami ends at 02:45 Tue, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:05, came before Ashtami ended at 06:40: this day reads Ashtami. Navami ends at 05:06 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Navami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:57, came after Ashtami ended at 04:19: this day reads Navami.

The night of Sun 2 Oct ran from sunset 17:41 Sun to sunrise 05:57, 12 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:57 to 17:39, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:39 to 05:58 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 83°20′. It leaves at 22:31, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 166.9° + 83.8° = 250.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 10:11, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 15:36, when the lead reaches 282°; Garaja until 02:45 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:57 to 05:58 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 15 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Oct, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 9 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina here, and Bhadrapada in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1904, 08:39 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 193.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1961; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1826.
