Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 12 Sep 1982

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:37 here. Navami ended at 07:07, before it. Dashami ends at 04:48 Mon, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:04, came before Navami ended at 07:37: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 05:18 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:37, came after Navami ended at 07:07: this day reads Dashami.

The night of Sat 11 Sep ran from sunset 20:16 Sat to sunrise 07:37, 11 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:37 to 20:14, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:14 to 07:38 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 73°20′. It leaves at 18:16, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 145.4° + 73.7° = 219.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 19:35, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 17:58, when the lead reaches 294°; Vishti until 04:48 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:37 to 07:38 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Sep, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 17 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina here, and Bhadrapada in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1982, 14:17 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 164.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
