Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 1 Sep 2040

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:27 here. Navami ended at 06:13 Fri, before it. Dashami ends at 08:39, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 06:13 Fri, before sunrise at 06:26 Fri, and ends at 08:39, after the next sunrise at 06:27. Both days read Dashami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 31 Aug ran from sunset 19:33 Fri to sunrise 06:27, 10 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:27 to 19:31, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:31 to 06:28 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 73°20′. It leaves at 18:55, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 134.9° + 73.9° = 208.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 15:07, then Vyatipata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 19:24 Fri, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 08:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:27 to 06:28 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 6 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 2040, 18:00 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 137° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2097; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1962.
