Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 18 Jun 2053

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:29 here. Pratipada ended at 10:57 Tue, before it. Dwitiya ends at 07:08, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 07:08 and ended at 03:37 Thu, between the sunrises of 05:29 and 05:29 Thu. Wednesday reads Dwitiya and Thursday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 17 Jun ran from sunset 20:33 Tue to sunrise 05:29, 8 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 20:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 53 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:33 to 05:29 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 83°20′. It leaves at 17:35, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 62.7° + 85.7° = 148.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 22:49, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 21:01 Tue, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 07:08.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:29 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 14:51 Mon to 15 Jul 21:26 Tue the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 20:17 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2053, 11:11 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 87.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2110; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1975.
