Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 29 May 2064

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:32 here. Trayodashi ended at 19:55 Wed, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 17:07, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 28 May ran from sunset 20:21 Wed to sunrise 05:32, 9 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:32 to 20:22, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:22 to 05:32 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 203°20′. It leaves at 18:59, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 43.7° + 205.2° = 248.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 12:20, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 06:30, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 17:07.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:32 to 05:32 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 70.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2121; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1986.
