Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 1 Dec 2064

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:04 here. Saptami ended at 07:40, before it. Ashtami ends at 06:12 Tue, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 30 Nov ran from sunset 17:33 Sun to sunrise 08:04, 14 h 31 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:04 to 17:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:33 to 08:05 Tue, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 126°40′. It leaves at 15:19, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 225° + 129.2° = 354.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 17:33, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 19:00, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 06:12 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:04 to 08:05 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 8 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

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 251.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2121; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1986.
