Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 9 Jun 2005

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, 06:29 here. Dwitiya ended at 06:10, before it. Tritiya ends at 08:18 Fri, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 06:10, before sunrise at 06:29, and ends at 08:18 Fri, after the next sunrise at 06:29 Fri. Both days read Tritiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 8 Jun ran from sunset 21:28 Wed to sunrise 06:29, 9 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:29 to 21:29, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:29 to 06:29 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 76°40′. It leaves at 09:23, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 54.4° + 78.5° = 132.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 07:13, then Vriddhi.

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 runs until 19:12, when the lead reaches 30°; Garaja until 08:18 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:29 to 06:29 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 7 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2005, 01:32 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 59.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2062; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1927.
