Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 13 Feb 1981

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:56 here. Navami ended at 06:59, before it. Dashami ends at 05:26 Sat, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 07:01, came before Navami ended at 08:29: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 06:56 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:56, came after Navami ended at 06:59: this day reads Dashami.

The night of Thu 12 Feb ran from sunset 18:31 Thu to sunrise 07:56, 13 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:56 to 18:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 19 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:32 to 07:55 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 40 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 46°40′. It leaves at 14:55, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 300.8° + 49.3° = 350.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 23:58, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 18:10, when the lead reaches 114°; Garaja until 05:26 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:56 to 07:55 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 5 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 1980, 22:55 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 328° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2037; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1902.
