Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 20 Aug 1997

Kajari Teej follows the tithi at sunrise. Tritiya begins at 08:36 on Wed 20 Aug, after that sunrise, and ends at 05:09 on Thu 21 Aug, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Wed 20 Aug. No text giving Kajari Teej’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Kajari Teej: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:15 here. Pratipada ended at 12:14 Tue, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:36, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 18 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 08:36 and ended at 05:09 Thu, between the sunrises of 07:15 and 07:16 Thu. Wednesday reads Dwitiya and Thursday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 19 Aug ran from sunset 20:52 Tue to sunrise 07:15, 10 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:15 to 20:50, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 41 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:50 to 07:16 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 18:10, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 123.3° + 326.5° = 449.8°, one full turn and 89.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 12:35, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 22:24 Tue, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 08:36.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:15 to 07:16 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 2 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 1997, 16:01 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 129.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2054; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1919.
