Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 7 Oct 1925

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:01 here. Panchami ended at 04:46, before it. Shashthi ends at 06:15 Thu, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 04:46, before sunrise at 06:01, and ends at 06:15 Thu, after the next sunrise at 06:02 Thu. Both days read Shashthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 6 Oct ran from sunset 17:35 Tue to sunrise 06:01, 12 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:01 to 17:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:33 to 06:02 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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 4 at 50°. It leaves at 10:20, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 170.5° + 51.1° = 221.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 15:06, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 17:25, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 06:15 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:01 to 06:02 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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 16 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Oct, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 17 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 1925, 17:02 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 189.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1982; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1847.
