Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 27 Aug 2050

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:22 here. Ashtami ended at 07:02 Fri, before it. Navami ends at 06:36, when the lead reaches 108°. 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. Dashami began at 06:36 and ended at 05:20 Sun, between the sunrises of 06:22 and 06:23 Sun. Saturday reads Navami and Sunday reads Ekadashi: Dashami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 26 Aug ran from sunset 19:41 Fri to sunrise 06:22, 10 h 41 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:22 to 19:40, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:40 to 06:23 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 236°40′. It leaves at 11:05, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 129.5° + 237.4° = 366.9°, one full turn and 6.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 17:08, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 18:56 Fri, when the lead reached 102°; Kaulava runs until 06:36.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:22 to 06:23 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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 151.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2107; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1972.
