Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 17 May 1923

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:42 here. Pratipada ended at 03:28, before it. Dwitiya ends at 04:56 Fri, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 03:28, before sunrise at 04:42, and ends at 04:56 Fri, after the next sunrise at 04:41 Fri. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 16 May ran from sunset 19:09 Wed to sunrise 04:42, 9 h 33 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:42 to 19:10, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:10 to 04:41 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 43°20′. It leaves at 21:09, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 32.4° + 44.9° = 77.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 09:37, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 16:15, when the lead reaches 18°; Kaulava until 04:56 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:42 to 04:41 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 16 May 01:38 Wed to 14 Jun 15:41 Thu the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 00:42 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1923, 15:51 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 59.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1980; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1845.
