Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 14 Jul 2032

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:41 here. Panchami ended at 05:39 Tue, before it. Shashthi ends at 07:55, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 05:39 Tue, before sunrise at 05:41 Tue, and ends at 07:55, after the next sunrise at 05:41. Both days read Shashthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 13 Jul ran from sunset 20:30 Tue to sunrise 05:41, 9 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:41 to 20:29, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:29 to 05:42 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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 Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 156°40′. It leaves at 07:59, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 87.9° + 158.9° = 246.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 17:54, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 18:49 Tue, when the lead reached 66°; Taitila runs until 07:55.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:41 to 05:42 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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 7 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 10 Apr 2032, 06:39 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 91.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2089; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1954.
