Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 7 Jun 2070

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 05:58 on Sat 7 Jun to 02:16 on Sun 8 Jun, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (00:41 Sun–01:17 Sun) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

Masik Shivratri: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:29 here. Dwadashi ended at 09:21 Fri, before it. Trayodashi ends at 05:58, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 25 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 05:58 and ended at 02:16 Sun, between the sunrises of 05:29 and 05:29 Sun. Saturday reads Trayodashi and Sunday reads Amavasya: Chaturdashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 6 Jun ran from sunset 20:27 Fri to sunrise 05:29, 9 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 20:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:28 to 05:29 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 26°40′. It leaves at 01:11 Sun, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 51.9° + 27.6° = 79.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 06:20, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 19:43 Fri, when the lead reached 330°; Vanija runs until 05:58.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:29 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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 2070, 06:31 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 55.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2127; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1992.
