Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 24 Nov 2018

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, 07:56 here. Pratipada ended at 07:30, before it. Dwitiya ends at 05:07 Sun, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 23 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:50, came before Pratipada ended at 09:00: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 06:37 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:56, came after Pratipada ended at 07:30: this day reads Dwitiya.

The night of Fri 23 Nov ran from sunset 17:37 Fri to sunrise 07:56, 14 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:56 to 17:36, 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 night here, 17:36 to 07:57 Sun, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 46°40′. It leaves at 13:39, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 217.7° + 49.9° = 267.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 03:18 Sun, then Sadhya.

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 runs until 18:20, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 05:07 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:56 to 07:57 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2018, 17:11 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 244.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2075; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1940.
