Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 17 Jun 1945

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:28 here. Saptami ended at 04:08, before it. Ashtami ends at 06:08 Mon, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 10 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 04:08, before sunrise at 04:28, and ends at 06:08 Mon, after the next sunrise at 04:28 Mon. Both days read Ashtami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 16 Jun ran from sunset 19:32 Sat to sunrise 04:28, 8 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:28 to 19:32, 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, 19:32 to 04:28 Mon, 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 143°20′. It leaves at 04:41, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 62.4° + 146.6° = 209°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 12:31, then Vyatipata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 17:05, when the lead reaches 90°; Bava until 06:08 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:28 to 04:28 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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, 9 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 10 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: 14 Mar 1945, 06:50 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 92.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2002; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1867.
