Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 28 Mar 1964

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:50 here. Purnima ended at 06:48, before it. Pratipada ends at 07:37 Sun, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 06:48, before sunrise at 06:50, and ends at 07:37 Sun, after the next sunrise at 06:49 Sun. Both days read Pratipada: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 27 Mar ran from sunset 19:19 Fri to sunrise 06:50, 11 h 31 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:50 to 19:20, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:20 to 06:49 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 00:20 Sun, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 344.1° + 164.1° = 508.2°, one full turn and 148.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 03:36 Sun, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 19:09, when the lead reaches 186°; Kaulava until 07:37 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:50 to 06:49 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Mar 06:13 Sat to 12 Apr 16:37 Sun the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 10:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 12 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 14 Mar 1964, 06:13 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 13.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2021; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1886.
