Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 16 Feb 2075

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:52 here. Amavasya ended at 10:41 Fri, before it. Pratipada ends at 08:49, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 08:49 and ended at 07:26 Sun, between the sunrises of 07:52 and 07:51 Sun. Saturday reads Pratipada and Sunday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 15 Feb ran from sunset 18:34 Fri to sunrise 07:52, 13 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:52 to 18:36, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:36 to 07:51 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 313°20′. It leaves at 17:58, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 302.7° + 314.2° = 616.9°, one full turn and 256.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 23:45, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna ended at 21:42 Fri, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 08:49.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:52 to 07:51 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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 2074, 18:20 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 320.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2131; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1996.
