Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 11 Sep 1995

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:36 here. Dwitiya ended at 05:37, before it. Tritiya ends at 05:37 Tue, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 9 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 10 Sep ran from sunset 19:18 Sun to sunrise 06:36, 11 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:36 to 19:16, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:16 to 06:37 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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 1 at 346°40′. It leaves at 03:40 Tue, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 144.1° + 348.6° = 492.7°, one full turn and 132.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 07:40, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 17:32, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 05:37 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:36 to 06:37 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 24 Sep, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina here, and Bhadrapada in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 31 Mar 1995, 06:08 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 158° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2052; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1917.
