Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 7 Oct 2039

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 228°–240° is the 20th, Krishna Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:02 here. Chaturthi ended at 16:06 Thu, before it. Panchami ends at 18:32, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 6 Oct ran from sunset 18:34 Thu to sunrise 07:02, 12 h 28 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:02 to 18:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:33 to 07:03 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 43°20′. It leaves at 01:45 Sat, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 169.3° + 44.1° = 213.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 07:52 Sat, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 05:17, when the lead reached 234°; Taitila runs until 18:32.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:02 to 07:03 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Sep 12:23 Sun to 17 Oct 23:09 Mon the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 18 Oct 02:25 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 17 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2039, 21:59 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 189.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2096; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1961.
