Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 15 Jul 2053

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 01:19 on Tue 15 Jul to 21:26 on Tue 15 Jul, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 15 Jul, at 05:42. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Sevan

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, 05:42 here. Chaturdashi ended at 01:19, before it. Amavasya ends at 21:26, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 14 Jul ran from sunset 20:29 Mon to sunrise 05:42, 9 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:42 to 20:29, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:29 to 05:43 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 76°40′. It leaves at 07:09, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 88.5° + 79.1° = 167.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 14:15, then Harshana.

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 runs until 11:22, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 21:26.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:42 to 05:43 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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 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 15 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 113° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2110; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1975.
