Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 30 Sep 2001

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:55 here. Dwadashi ended at 12:16 Sat, before it. Trayodashi ends at 14:41, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 29 Sep ran from sunset 19:45 Sat to sunrise 07:55, 12 h 10 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:55 to 19:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:44 to 07:56 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 313°20′. It leaves at 15:51, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 163.1° + 316.1° = 479.2°, one full turn and 119.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 09:24, then Ganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 01:30, when the lead reached 150°; Taitila runs until 14:41.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:55 to 07:56 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Sep 15:27 Mon to 17 Oct 00:23 Wed the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 09:37 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina itself.

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, began Ashwina (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) in both counts.

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 182.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2058; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1923.
