Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 8 May 2031

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:51 here. Pratipada ended at 04:49, before it. Dwitiya ends at 01:48 Fri, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 7 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:35, came before Pratipada ended at 06:19: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 03:18 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:51, came after Pratipada ended at 04:49: this day reads Dwitiya.

The night of Wed 7 May ran from sunset 20:01 Wed to sunrise 05:51, 9 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:51 to 20:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 46 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 05:50 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 13 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 213°20′. It leaves at 23:55, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 23° + 215.6° = 238.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 07:59, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 15:19, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 01:48 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:51 to 05:50 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 21 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 21 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 07:49 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 45° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
