Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 1 Aug 2003

Hariyali Teej follows the tithi at sunrise. Tritiya runs from 10:18 on Thu 31 Jul to 08:56 on Fri 1 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 1 Aug, at 06:56. No text giving Hariyali Teej’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Hariyali Teej: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:56 here. Dwitiya ended at 10:18 Thu, before it. Tritiya ends at 08:56, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 29 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 31 Jul ran from sunset 21:16 Thu to sunrise 06:56, 9 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:56 to 21:15, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:15 to 06:57 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 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 Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 136°40′. It leaves at 19:28, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 104.5° + 139.5° = 244°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 22:07, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 21:39 Thu, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 08:56.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:56 to 06:57 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Aug, 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 29 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 2 Apr 2003, 00:18 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 116.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2060; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1925.
