Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 31 Jul 1977

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, 05:55 here. Purnima ended at 14:52 Sat, before it. Pratipada ends at 12:21, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 30 Jul ran from sunset 20:17 Sat to sunrise 05:55, 9 h 38 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:55 to 20:16, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:16 to 05:56 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 290°. It leaves at 07:04, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 104.2° + 292.6° = 396.8°, one full turn and 36.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 10:52, then Saubhagya.

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 ended at 01:33, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 12:21.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:55 to 05:56 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 16 Jul 12:36 Sat to 15 Aug 01:31 Mon the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 17:07 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 15 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 1977, 22:32 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 128.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2034; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1899.
