Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 28 Sep 1921

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:52 here. Ekadashi ended at 03:50, before it. Dwadashi ends at 00:44 Thu, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 17 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:12, came before Ekadashi ended at 06:20: this day reads Ekadashi. Dwadashi ends at 03:14 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:52, came after Ekadashi ended at 03:50: this day reads Dwadashi.

The night of Tue 27 Sep ran from sunset 17:50 Tue to sunrise 05:52, 12 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:52 to 17:48, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:48 to 05:53 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 113°20′. It leaves at 14:17, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 161.7° + 114.8° = 276.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 11:13, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 14:18, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 00:44 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:52 to 05:53 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 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 1 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: 8 Apr 1921, 12:04 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 166.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1978; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1843.
