Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 8 Nov 2026

Lakshmi Puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Amavasya runs from 09:58 on Sun 8 Nov to 11:02 on Mon 9 Nov, so only Sunday’s pradosha (17:49–20:35) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:49–20:35. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:08 to 19:57.

Diwali: every date in Sevan

The abhyanga bath is taken in arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. Chaturdashi runs from 09:18 on Sat 7 Nov to 09:58 on Sun 8 Nov, so only Sunday’s arunodaya (06:01–07:37) falls within it. No text giving Narak Chaturdashi’s time was found; arunodaya is Tithika’s convention.

Narak Chaturdashi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:37 here. Trayodashi ended at 09:18 Sat, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 09:58, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 26 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 7 Nov ran from sunset 17:50 Sat to sunrise 07:37, 13 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:37 to 17:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:49 to 07:39 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 186°40′. It leaves at 05:54 Mon, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 201.5° + 188.4° = 389.9°, one full turn and 29.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 01:33 Mon, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti ended at 21:35 Sat, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 09:58.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:37 to 07:39 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 9 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 05:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 227.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
