Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 13 Jul 1957

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:40 here. Pratipada ended at 04:19, before it. Dwitiya ends at 06:10 Sun, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 04:19, before sunrise at 05:40, and ends at 06:10 Sun, after the next sunrise at 05:40 Sun. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 12 Jul ran from sunset 20:31 Fri to sunrise 05:40, 9 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:40 to 20:30, 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, 20:30 to 05:40 Sun, 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 276°40′. It leaves at 06:09, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 87.1° + 279.8° = 366.9°, one full turn and 6.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 17:30, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 17:12, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 06:10 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:40 to 05:40 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Jul, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 27 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 31 Mar 1957, 13:18 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 100° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2014; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1879.
