Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 11 Nov 2051

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, 07:41 here. Saptami ended at 05:22, before it. Ashtami ends at 04:41 Sun, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 3 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:40, came before Saptami ended at 06:52: this day reads Saptami. Ashtami ends at 06:11 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ashtami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:41, came after Saptami ended at 05:22: this day reads Ashtami.

The night of Fri 10 Nov ran from sunset 17:47 Fri to sunrise 07:41, 13 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:41 to 17:46, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:46 to 07:42 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 286°40′. It leaves at 15:00, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 204.1° + 289.3° = 493.4°, one full turn and 133.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 05:49 Sun, then Dhruva.

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 17:07, when the lead reaches 90°; Bava until 04:41 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:41 to 07:42 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 17 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 3 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 2051, 05:59 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 207.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2108; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1973.
