Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 1 Oct 1982

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:55 here. Trayodashi ended at 05:56, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 05:49 Sat, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 30 Sep ran from sunset 19:44 Thu to sunrise 06:55, 12 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:55 to 18:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:43 to 06:56 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 320°. It leaves at 06:33 Sat, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 164° + 320.5° = 484.5°, one full turn and 124.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 22:07, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 17:57, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 05:49 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:55 to 06:56 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Sep 17:09 Fri to 17 Oct 04:04 Sun the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 11:46 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 17 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) in both counts.

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 183.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
