Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 13 Aug 1952

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 276°–288° is the 24th, Krishna Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:08 here. Ashtami ended at 04:31, before it. Navami ends at 05:11 Thu, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 5 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 04:31, before sunrise at 05:08, and ends at 05:11 Thu, after the next sunrise at 05:09 Thu. Both days read Navami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 12 Aug ran from sunset 19:01 Tue to sunrise 05:08, 10 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:08 to 19:00, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:00 to 05:09 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 33°20′. It leaves at 17:40, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 117.1° + 33.4° = 150.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 21:59, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 16:46, when the lead reaches 282°; Garaja until 05:11 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:08 to 05:09 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 20 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1952, 23:12 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 135.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2009; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1874.
