Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 12 Aug 2023

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:07 here. Ekadashi ended at 05:02, before it. Dwadashi ends at 06:50 Sun, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 05:02, before sunrise at 06:07, and ends at 06:50 Sun, after the next sunrise at 06:08 Sun. Both days read Dwadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 11 Aug ran from sunset 20:03 Fri to sunrise 06:07, 10 h 4 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:07 to 20:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:02 to 06:08 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 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 1 at 66°40′. It leaves at 06:56 Sun, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 115° + 67.5° = 182.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 13:52, then Vajra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 17:53, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 06:50 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:07 to 06:08 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 22:31 Mon to 16 Aug 13:38 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 12:02 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 16 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 21:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 138.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
