Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 17 Feb 2036

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:51 here. Panchami ended at 14:46 Sat, before it. Shashthi ends at 14:34, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 16 Feb ran from sunset 18:35 Sat to sunrise 07:51, 13 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:51 to 18:36, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:36 to 07:50 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 190°. It leaves at 22:06, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 303.7° + 192.3° = 496°, one full turn and 136°. 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 02:15 Mon, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 02:34, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 14:34.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:51 to 07:50 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 27 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

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 309.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2092; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1957.
