Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 13 Mar 2076

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, 07:13 here. Ashtami ended at 05:46, before it. Navami ends at 08:12 Sat, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 05:46, before sunrise at 07:13, and ends at 08:12 Sat, after the next sunrise at 07:12 Sat. Both days read Navami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 12 Mar ran from sunset 19:04 Thu to sunrise 07:13, 12 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:13 to 19:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:05 to 07:12 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 63°20′. It leaves at 10:13, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 328.5° + 65.2° = 393.7°, one full turn and 33.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 18:57, then Saubhagya.

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 runs until 18:56, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 08:12 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:13 to 07:12 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Apr, 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 5 Mar, 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: 16 Mar 2075, 23:26 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 357.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2132; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1997.
