Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 25 Jun 1940

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, 04:30 here. Panchami ended at 03:26, before it. Shashthi ends at 05:31 Wed, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 20 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 03:26, before sunrise at 04:30, and ends at 05:31 Wed, after the next sunrise at 04:30 Wed. Both days read Shashthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 24 Jun ran from sunset 19:34 Mon to sunrise 04:30, 8 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:30 to 19:34, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 53 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 04:30 Wed, 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 310°. It leaves at 22:52, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 70.3° + 310.8° = 381.1°, one full turn and 21.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 14:46, then Ayushmana.

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 16:25, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 05:31 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:30 to 04:30 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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, 5 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 5 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 1940, 23:18 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 75.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1997; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1862.
