Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 11 Oct 2058

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 276°–288° is the 24th, Krishna Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:06 here. Ashtami ended at 04:51 Thu, before it. Navami ends at 07:20, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 04:51 Thu, before sunrise at 07:05 Thu, and ends at 07:20, after the next sunrise at 07:06. Both days read Navami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 10 Oct ran from sunset 18:27 Thu to sunrise 07:06, 12 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:06 to 18:26, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:26 to 07:07 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 100°. It leaves at 18:01, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 173.4° + 101.3° = 274.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 17:04, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 18:05 Thu, when the lead reached 282°; Garaja runs until 07:20.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:06 to 07:07 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 18 Sep 02:18 Wed to 17 Oct 17:05 Thu the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 23:18 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2058, 13:50 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 194.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2115; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1980.
