Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 21 Feb 2029

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:45 here. Saptami ended at 06:20, before it. Ashtami ends at 07:49 Thu, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 06:20, before sunrise at 07:45, and ends at 07:49 Thu, after the next sunrise at 07:44 Thu. Both days read Ashtami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 20 Feb ran from sunset 18:41 Tue to sunrise 07:45, 13 h 4 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:45 to 18:42, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:42 to 07:44 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 30°. It leaves at 21:05, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 308.5° + 33.2° = 341.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 16:43, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 19:09, when the lead reaches 90°; Bava until 07:49 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:45 to 07:44 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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 15 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 13 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 26 Mar 2028, 08:31 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 326.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
