Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 16 Sep 2050

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:41 here. Chaturdashi ended at 05:19 Thu, before it. Amavasya ends at 07:49, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 05:19 Thu, before sunrise at 06:40 Thu, and ends at 07:49, after the next sunrise at 06:41. Both days read Amavasya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 15 Sep ran from sunset 19:09 Thu to sunrise 06:41, 11 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:41 to 19:07, 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 night here, 19:07 to 06:42 Sat, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 146°40′. It leaves at 06:13 Sat, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 148.9° + 148.4° = 297.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 00:17 Sat, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada ended at 18:34 Thu, when the lead reached 354°; Nagava runs until 07:49.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:41 to 06:42 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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 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 16 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) here, and Bhadrapada (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 170.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2107; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1972.
