Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 27 May 1990

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, 06:34 here. Tritiya ended at 06:20, before it. Chaturthi ends at 03:52 Mon, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 24 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:25, came before Tritiya ended at 06:50: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 04:22 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:34, came after Tritiya ended at 06:20: this day reads Chaturthi.

The night of Sat 26 May ran from sunset 21:19 Sat to sunrise 06:34, 9 h 15 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:34 to 21:20, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:20 to 06:33 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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 4 at 76°40′. It leaves at 10:00, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 41.8° + 77.9° = 119.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 06:59, then Ganda.

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 17:01, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 03:52 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:34 to 06:33 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 22 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 24 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 1990, 00:48 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 59.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2047; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1912.
