Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 7 Jul 1969

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, 05:36 here. Ashtami ended at 05:21, before it. Navami ends at 06:02 Tue, when the lead reaches 288°. 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. Navami began at 05:21, before sunrise at 05:36, and ends at 06:02 Tue, after the next sunrise at 05:36 Tue. Both days read Navami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 6 Jul ran from sunset 20:33 Sun to sunrise 05:36, 9 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:36 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 Tue, 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 356°40′. It leaves at 10:24, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 81.3° + 357.5° = 438.8°, one full turn and 78.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 07:43, then Sukarma.

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 17:37, when the lead reaches 282°; Garaja until 06:02 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:36 to 05:36 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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 107.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2026; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1891.
