Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 14 Feb 1983

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:55 here. Pratipada ended at 06:33, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:12 Tue, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 06:33, before sunrise at 07:55, and ends at 08:12 Tue, after the next sunrise at 07:54 Tue. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 13 Feb ran from sunset 18:31 Sun to sunrise 07:55, 13 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:55 to 18:33, 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, 18:33 to 07:54 Tue, 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 313°20′. It leaves at 19:54, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 301.3° + 313.9° = 615.2°, one full turn and 255.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 04:45 Tue, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 19:25, when the lead reaches 18°; Kaulava until 08:12 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:55 to 07:54 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 13 Feb 04:31 Sun to 14 Mar 21:43 Mon the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 22:44 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna 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 13 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna (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 320.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
