Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 28 Jul 1957

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:52 here. Pratipada ended at 04:51, before it. Dwitiya ends at 01:10 Mon, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 27 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:39, came before Pratipada ended at 06:21: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 02:40 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:52, came after Pratipada ended at 04:51: this day reads Dwitiya.

The night of Sat 27 Jul ran from sunset 20:20 Sat to sunrise 05:52, 9 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:52 to 20:19, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:19 to 05:53 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 113°20′. It leaves at 15:17, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 101.5° + 114.1° = 215.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 22:30, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 15:00, when the lead reaches 18°; Kaulava until 01:10 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:52 to 05:53 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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 25 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 27 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

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 114.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2014; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1879.
