Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 6 Jul 1969

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:35 here. Saptami ended at 05:22, before it. Ashtami ends at 05:21 Mon, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Sat 5 Jul ran from sunset 20:33 Sat to sunrise 05:35, 9 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:35 to 20:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:33 to 05:36 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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 Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 343°20′. It leaves at 09:34, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 80.4° + 344.5° = 424.9°, one full turn and 64.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 08:39, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 17:16, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 05:21 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:35 to 05:36 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 03:08 Sun to 14 Jul 18:11 Mon the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 07:40 Wed, 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 14 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 1969, 08:51 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 106.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2026; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1891.
