Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 8 Jul 2072

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, 05:37 here. Saptami ended at 04:58, before it. Ashtami ends at 06:40 Sat, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 04:58, before sunrise at 05:37, and ends at 06:40 Sat, after the next sunrise at 05:38 Sat. Both days read Ashtami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 7 Jul ran from sunset 20:32 Thu to sunrise 05:37, 9 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 20:32, 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, 20:32 to 05:38 Sat, 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′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 343°20′. It leaves at 06:32, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 81.9° + 346.2° = 428.1°, one full turn and 68.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 03:23 Sat, then Sukarma.

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 17:54, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 06:40 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:38 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 13:58 Thu to 15 Jul 21:56 Fri the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 17:05 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 15 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2072, 00:22 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 106.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2129; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1994.
