Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 22 May 2064

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:37 here. Panchami ended at 13:48 Wed, before it. Shashthi ends at 12:39, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 21 May ran from sunset 20:15 Wed to sunrise 05:37, 9 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 20:16, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:16 to 05:36 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 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 4 at 103°20′. It leaves at 08:00, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 37° + 105.3° = 142.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 12:44, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 01:16, when the lead reached 66°; Taitila runs until 12:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:36 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 13:55 Fri to 15 Jun 02:21 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 05:06 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2064, 05:45 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 63.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2121; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1986.
