Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 30 Jun 1930

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:32 here. Chaturthi ended at 03:05, before it. Panchami ends at 00:10 Tue, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 26 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:26, came before Chaturthi ended at 05:35: this day reads Chaturthi. Panchami ends at 02:40 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Panchami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 04:32, came after Chaturthi ended at 03:05: this day reads Panchami.

The night of Sun 29 Jun ran from sunset 19:34 Sun to sunrise 04:32, 8 h 58 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:32 to 19:34, 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, 19:34 to 04:32 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 123°20′. It leaves at 20:41, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 74.7° + 123.5° = 198.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 07:23, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 13:35, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 00:10 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:32 to 04:32 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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 25 Jul, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 26 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 1930, 08:46 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 88.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1987; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1852.
