Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 4 Jul 1912

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 228°–240° is the 20th, Krishna Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:34 here. Chaturthi ended at 01:48, before it. Panchami ends at 04:03 Fri, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 3 Jul ran from sunset 19:33 Wed to sunrise 04:34, 9 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:34 to 19:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:33 to 04:34 Fri, 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 306°40′. It leaves at 04:04 Fri, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 79.1° + 308.3° = 387.4°, one full turn and 27.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 04:05 Fri, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 14:57, when the lead reaches 234°; Taitila until 04:03 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:34 to 04:34 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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 14 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 103.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1969; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1834.
