Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 11 May 2075

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:47 here. Ekadashi ended at 23:35 Fri, before it. Dwadashi ends at 23:53, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 10 May ran from sunset 20:04 Fri to sunrise 05:47, 9 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:47 to 20:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:05 to 05:46 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 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 3 at 340°. It leaves at 16:55, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 25.6° + 340.7° = 366.3°, one full turn and 6.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 17:56, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 11:41, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 23:53.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:47 to 05:46 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) here, and Vaishakha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 54.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2132; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1997.
