Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 16 Jun 1912

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:28 here. Amavasya ended at 09:23 Sat, before it. Pratipada ends at 05:54, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 05:54 and ended at 02:19 Mon, between the sunrises of 04:28 and 04:28 Mon. Sunday reads Pratipada and Monday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 15 Jun ran from sunset 19:31 Sat to sunrise 04:28, 8 h 57 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:28 to 19:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 53 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:32 to 04:28 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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 2 at 70°. It leaves at 15:33, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 61.9° + 73° = 134.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 22:03, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna ended at 19:40 Sat, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 05:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:28 to 04:28 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Jun 09:23 Sat to 14 Jul 16:12 Sun the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 15 Jul 16:02 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha itself.

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 15 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 1912, 01:08 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 86.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1969; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1834.
