Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 10 Jun 1929

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:29 here. Dwitiya ended at 09:27 Sun, before it. Tritiya ends at 05:55, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 05:55 and ended at 02:44 Tue, between the sunrises of 04:29 and 04:28 Tue. Monday reads Tritiya and Tuesday reads Panchami: Chaturthi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 9 Jun ran from sunset 19:28 Sun to sunrise 04:29, 9 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:29 to 19:29, 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, 19:29 to 04:28 Tue, 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 90°. It leaves at 08:16, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 55.8° + 91° = 146.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 00:35 Tue, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 19:39 Sun, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 05:55.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:29 to 04:28 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 14 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 7 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 1929, 23:32 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 59.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1986; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1851.
