Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 6 Mar 1984

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:26 here. Tritiya ended at 05:35, before it. Chaturthi ends at 07:32 Wed, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 2 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 05:35, before sunrise at 07:26, and ends at 07:32 Wed, after the next sunrise at 07:24 Wed. Both days read Chaturthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 5 Mar ran from sunset 18:55 Mon to sunrise 07:26, 12 h 31 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:26 to 18:57, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:57 to 07:24 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 356°40′. It leaves at 09:29, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 322.1° + 359° = 681.1°, one full turn and 321.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 05:52 Wed, then Indra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 18:36, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 07:32 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:26 to 07:24 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 2 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 13 Apr 1983, 12:58 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 322.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2040; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1905.
