Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 16 Mar 2039

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:10 here. Shashthi ended at 05:10, before it. Saptami ends at 03:03 Thu, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 10 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:30, came before Shashthi ended at 06:40: this day reads Shashthi. Saptami ends at 04:33 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Saptami: it is kshaya.

Sevan · UTC+4

Sunrise here, 07:10, came after Shashthi ended at 05:10: this day reads Saptami.

The night of Tue 15 Mar ran from sunset 19:06 Tue to sunrise 07:10, 12 h 4 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:10 to 19:07, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:07 to 07:08 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 223°20′. It leaves at 11:31, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 331° + 224.1° = 555.1°, one full turn and 195.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 14:57, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 16:04, when the lead reaches 258°; Bava until 03:03 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:10 to 07:08 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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 24 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 24 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 4 Apr 2038, 20:43 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 340.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2095; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1960.
