Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 14 Aug 1908

Kajari Teej follows the tithi at sunrise. Tritiya runs from 00:14 on Fri 14 Aug to 20:43 on Fri 14 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 14 Aug, at 05:06. No text giving Kajari Teej’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 20:43 on Fri 14 Aug to 17:40 on Sat 15 Aug, so it holds moonrise only on Fri 14 Aug, at 20:46. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:08 here. Dwitiya ended at 00:16, before it. Tritiya ends at 20:45, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 13 Aug ran from sunset 19:01 Thu to sunrise 05:08, 10 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:08 to 18:59, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:59 to 05:09 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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 18:13, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 118.3° + 325.2° = 443.5°, one full turn and 83.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 20:01, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 10:28, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 20:45.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:08 to 05:09 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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 15 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Aug, 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 27 Aug, 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: 1 Apr 1908, 08:02 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 129.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1965; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1830.
