Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 6 Nov 1994

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, 06:35 here. Tritiya ended at 05:52, before it. Chaturthi ends at 02:53 Mon, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 3 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:36, came before Tritiya ended at 08:22: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 05:23 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:35, came after Tritiya ended at 05:52: this day reads Chaturthi.

The night of Sat 5 Nov ran from sunset 16:52 Sat to sunrise 06:35, 13 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:35 to 16:51, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:51 to 06:36 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 233°20′. It leaves at 12:52, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 199.7° + 236.1° = 435.8°, one full turn and 75.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 12:55, then Sukarma.

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 16:19, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 02:53 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:35 to 06:36 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 3 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 1994, 04:17 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 202.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2051; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1916.
