Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 22 Mar 2048

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:59 here. Saptami ended at 06:50, before it. Ashtami ends at 09:10 Mon, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 06:50, before sunrise at 06:59, and ends at 09:10 Mon, after the next sunrise at 06:57 Mon. Both days read Ashtami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 21 Mar ran from sunset 19:13 Sat to sunrise 06:59, 11 h 46 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:59 to 19:14, 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 night here, 19:14 to 06:57 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 60°. It leaves at 17:01, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 337.6° + 61.7° = 399.3°, one full turn and 39.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 08:13, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 20:03, when the lead reaches 90°; Bava until 09:10 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:59 to 06:57 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Mar 18:27 Sat to 13 Apr 09:19 Mon the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 23:17 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 14 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 14 Mar 2048, 18:27 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 7.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2105; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1970.
