Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 4 Jan 2036

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, 08:23 here. Panchami ended at 07:07, before it. Shashthi ends at 08:43 Sat, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 29 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 07:07, before sunrise at 08:23, and ends at 08:43 Sat, after the next sunrise at 08:23 Sat. Both days read Shashthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 3 Jan ran from sunset 17:45 Thu to sunrise 08:23, 14 h 38 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:23 to 17:46, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:46 to 08:23 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 09:11, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 259° + 319.6° = 578.6°, one full turn and 218.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 22:59, then Variyana.

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 runs until 20:00, when the lead reaches 66°; Taitila until 08:43 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:23 to 08:23 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 15 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 28 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 29 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2035, 14:57 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 264.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2092; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1957.
