Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 2 Dec 2020

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, 08:05 here. Pratipada ended at 15:22 Tue, before it. Dwitiya ends at 16:52, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 1 Dec ran from sunset 17:33 Tue to sunrise 08:05, 14 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:05 to 17:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:33 to 08:06 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 63°20′. It leaves at 09:07, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 226.3° + 66.1° = 292.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 09:43, then Shubha.

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 ended at 04:10, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 16:52.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:05 to 08:06 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 14 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 14 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: 24 Mar 2020, 13:28 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 246.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
