Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 28 Jun 1948

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:31 here. Shashthi ended at 03:11, before it. Saptami ends at 05:24 Tue, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 21 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 03:11, before sunrise at 04:31, and ends at 05:24 Tue, after the next sunrise at 04:31 Tue. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 27 Jun ran from sunset 19:34 Sun to sunrise 04:31, 8 h 57 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:31 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 04:31 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 19:50, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 73.1° + 325.7° = 398.8°, one full turn and 38.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 06:41, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 16:20, when the lead reaches 258°; Bava until 05:24 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:31 to 04:31 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, 7 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 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: 9 Apr 1948, 16:16 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 76.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2005; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1870.
