Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 6 Mar 2060

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:25 here. Chaturthi ended at 06:33, before it. Panchami ends at 03:56 Sun, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 2 Mar, 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 Chaturthi ended at 08:03: this day reads Chaturthi. Panchami ends at 05:26 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Panchami: it is kshaya.

Sevan · UTC+4

Sunrise here, 07:25, came after Chaturthi ended at 06:33: this day reads Panchami.

The night of Fri 5 Mar ran from sunset 18:56 Fri to sunrise 07:25, 12 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:25 to 18:57, 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 night here, 18:57 to 07:23 Sun, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 10°. It leaves at 12:43, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 321.6° + 10.1° = 331.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 09:52, then Indra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 17:10, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 03:56 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:25 to 07:23 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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 2 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 12 Apr 2059, 13:29 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 323.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2116; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1981.
