Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 14 May 2075

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 01:48 on Tue 14 May to 03:23 on Wed 15 May, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 14 May, at 05:44. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:44 here. Chaturdashi ended at 01:48, before it. Amavasya ends at 03:23 Wed, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 13 May ran from sunset 20:07 Mon to sunrise 05:44, 9 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:44 to 20:08, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:08 to 05:43 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 16°40′. It leaves at 21:58, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 28.5° + 18.4° = 46.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 17:22, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 14:32, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 03:23 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:44 to 05:43 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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 57.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2132; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1997.
