Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 25 Aug 2050

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:20 here. Shashthi ended at 05:29 Wed, before it. Saptami ends at 06:38, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 05:29 Wed, before sunrise at 06:19 Wed, and ends at 06:38, after the next sunrise at 06:20. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 24 Aug ran from sunset 19:44 Wed to sunrise 06:20, 10 h 36 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:20 to 19:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 40 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:43 to 06:21 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 19 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 210°. It leaves at 10:00, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 127.6° + 211.4° = 339°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 19:54, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 18:08 Wed, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 06:38.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:20 to 06:21 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Aug 15:47 Wed to 16 Sep 07:49 Fri the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 17 Sep 10:03 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2050, 04:41 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 149.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2107; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1972.
