Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 30 May 1993

Ganga Dussehra follows the tithi at sunrise. Dashami begins at 06:48 on Sun 30 May, after that sunrise, and ends at 04:17 on Mon 31 May, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Sun 30 May. No text giving Ganga Dussehra’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Ganga Dussehra: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:32 here. Ashtami ended at 09:12 Sat, before it. Navami ends at 06:48, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 21 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 06:48 and ended at 04:17 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:32 and 05:32 Mon. Sunday reads Navami and Monday reads Ekadashi: Dashami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 29 May ran from sunset 20:21 Sat to sunrise 05:32, 9 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:32 to 20:22, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:22 to 05:32 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 150°. It leaves at 18:35, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 44.9° + 152.2° = 197.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 10:06, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 20:01 Sat, when the lead reached 102°; Kaulava runs until 06:48.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:32 to 05:32 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, 20 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 21 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: 23 Mar 1993, 10:14 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 66° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2050; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1915.
