Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 9 Jul 1950

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:37 here. Navami ended at 21:19 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 23:49, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 8 Jul ran from sunset 19:32 Sat to sunrise 04:37, 9 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:37 to 19:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 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 04:37 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 13°20′. It leaves at 05:28 Mon, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 83.1° + 14.4° = 97.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 21:45, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 10:34, when the lead reaches 294°; Vishti until 23:49.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:37 to 04:37 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Jun 18:52 Thu to 15 Jul 08:05 Sat the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 09:41 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha itself.

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 15 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 1950, 18:20 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 108.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2007; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1872.
