Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 3 Sep 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, 06:28 here. Pratipada ended at 10:27 Tue, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:03, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 08:03 and ended at 06:19 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:28 and 06:29 Thu. Wednesday reads Dwitiya and Thursday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 2 Sep ran from sunset 19:31 Tue to sunrise 06:28, 10 h 57 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:28 to 19:29, 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 night here, 19:29 to 06:29 Thu, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 336°40′. It leaves at 19:10, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 136.1° + 339.3° = 475.4°, one full turn and 115.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 13:51, then Ganda.

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 ended at 21:11 Tue, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 08:03.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:28 to 06:29 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Aug 08:32 Mon to 16 Sep 22:46 Tue the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 17 Sep 13:19 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada itself.

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 16 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) here, and Bhadrapada (Adhik) 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 158.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
