Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 6 Mar 2045

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 04:28 on Mon 6 Mar to 03:11 on Tue 7 Mar, so it holds moonrise only on Mon 6 Mar, at 22:54. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:25 here. Tritiya ended at 04:28, before it. Chaturthi ends at 03:11 Tue, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 5 Mar ran from sunset 18:56 Sun to sunrise 07:25, 12 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:25 to 18:57, 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, 18:57 to 07:24 Tue, 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 176°40′. It leaves at 20:45, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 321.5° + 179.1° = 500.6°, one full turn and 140.6°. 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 17:25, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 15:44, when the lead reaches 222°; Balava until 03:11 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:25 to 07:24 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 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 18 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: 29 Mar 2044, 13:26 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 336.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2101; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1966.
