Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 21 May 2037

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:38 here. Shashthi ended at 04:05, before it. Saptami ends at 02:10 Fri, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 05:27, came before Shashthi ended at 05:35: this day reads Shashthi. Saptami ends at 03:40 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Saptami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:38, came after Shashthi ended at 04:05: this day reads Saptami.

The night of Wed 20 May ran from sunset 20:14 Wed to sunrise 05:38, 9 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:38 to 20:15, 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 night here, 20:15 to 05:37 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 106°40′. It leaves at 00:47 Fri, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 36° + 108.8° = 144.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 08:37, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 15:09, when the lead reaches 78°; Vanija until 02:10 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:38 to 05:37 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 May 09:54 Fri to 13 Jun 21:10 Sat the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 07:02 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 15 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2037, 03:36 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 63.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2094; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1959.
