Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 26 Nov 2030

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:58 here. Pratipada ended at 07:06, before it. Dwitiya ends at 03:29 Wed, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 25 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:52, came before Pratipada ended at 08:36: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 04:59 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:58, came after Pratipada ended at 07:06: this day reads Dwitiya.

The night of Mon 25 Nov ran from sunset 17:36 Mon to sunrise 07:58, 14 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:58 to 17:35, 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, 17:35 to 07:59 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 230°. It leaves at 20:24, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 219.6° + 232.1° = 451.7°, one full turn and 91.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 10:16, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 17:17, when the lead reaches 18°; Kaulava until 03:29 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:58 to 07:59 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 24 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 25 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 2030, 02:02 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 230.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2087; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1952.
