Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 5 Sep 2001

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, 07:30 here. Dwitiya ended at 07:07, before it. Tritiya ends at 08:58 Thu, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 07:07, before sunrise at 07:30, and ends at 08:58 Thu, after the next sunrise at 07:31 Thu. Both days read Tritiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 4 Sep ran from sunset 20:27 Tue to sunrise 07:30, 11 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:30 to 20:25, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:25 to 07:31 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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 Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 340°. It leaves at 14:58, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 138.7° + 342.9° = 481.6°, one full turn and 121.6°. 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 04:58 Thu, 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 20:04, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 08:58 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:30 to 07:31 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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 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 17 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: 25 Mar 2001, 06:21 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 158.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2058; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1923.
