Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 19 Nov 1923

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:49 here. Ekadashi ended at 05:56, before it. Dwadashi ends at 08:23 Tue, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 05:56, before sunrise at 06:49, and ends at 08:23 Tue, after the next sunrise at 06:50 Tue. Both days read Dwadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 18 Nov ran from sunset 16:41 Sun to sunrise 06:49, 14 h 8 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 56 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:49 to 16:40, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 13 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:40 to 06:50 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 46 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′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 343°20′. It leaves at 09:22, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 213° + 345.4° = 558.4°, one full turn and 198.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 09:47, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 19:08, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 08:23 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:49 to 06:50 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 8 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika 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 239.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1980; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1845.
