Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 25 Apr 2075

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:07 here. Ashtami ended at 04:51 Wed, before it. Navami ends at 06:16, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 04:51 Wed, before sunrise at 06:08 Wed, and ends at 06:16, after the next sunrise at 06:07. Both days read Navami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 24 Apr ran from sunset 19:48 Wed to sunrise 06:07, 10 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:07 to 19:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 42 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:49 to 06:05 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 116°40′. It leaves at 09:51, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 10.1° + 118.1° = 128.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 15:16, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 17:39 Wed, when the lead reached 102°; Kaulava runs until 06:16.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:07 to 06:05 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 15 Apr 12:56 Mon to 15 May 03:23 Wed the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 15 May 18:09 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2075, 23:26 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 38.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2132; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1997.
