Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 13 May 1932

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:45 here. Shashthi ended at 05:38 Thu, before it. Saptami ends at 05:23, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 05:23 and ended at 04:31 Sat, between the sunrises of 04:45 and 04:44 Sat. Friday reads Saptami and Saturday reads Navami: Ashtami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 12 May ran from sunset 19:06 Thu to sunrise 04:45, 9 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:45 to 19:07, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:07 to 04:44 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 110°. It leaves at 17:38, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 29.2° + 112.8° = 142°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 12:35, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 17:35 Thu, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 05:23.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:45 to 04:44 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 5 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 1932, 04:20 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 36.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1989; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1854.
