Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 12 Mar 2046

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:16 here. Chaturthi ended at 07:04, before it. Panchami ends at 08:23 Tue, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Panchami began at 07:04, before sunrise at 07:16, and ends at 08:23 Tue, after the next sunrise at 07:15 Tue. Both days read Panchami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 11 Mar ran from sunset 19:02 Sun to sunrise 07:16, 12 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:16 to 19:03, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:03 to 07:15 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 13°20′. It leaves at 05:20 Tue, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 327.2° + 15.3° = 342.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 14:47, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 19:47, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 08:23 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:16 to 07:15 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 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Apr, 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 7 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2045, 21:14 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 353.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2102; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1967.
