Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 11 Mar 2031

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:18 here. Dwitiya ended at 07:17, before it. Tritiya ends at 06:10 Wed, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 9 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 10 Mar ran from sunset 19:00 Mon to sunrise 07:18, 12 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:18 to 19:01, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:01 to 07:17 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 170°. It leaves at 13:06, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 326.1° + 170.1° = 496.2°, one full turn and 136.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 00:41 Wed, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 18:45, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 06:10 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:18 to 07:17 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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 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 23 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

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 337.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2087; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1952.
