Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 20 May 2083

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:39 here. Tritiya ended at 05:17, before it. Chaturthi ends at 07:16 Fri, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 05:17, before sunrise at 05:39, and ends at 07:16 Fri, after the next sunrise at 05:38 Fri. Both days read Chaturthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 19 May ran from sunset 20:13 Wed to sunrise 05:39, 9 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:39 to 20:14, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:14 to 05:38 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 70°. It leaves at 00:43 Fri, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 34.3° + 70.4° = 104.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 09:16, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 18:19, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 07:16 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:39 to 05:38 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 16 May 22:15 Sun to 15 Jun 13:39 Tue the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 16 Jun 01:47 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2083, 13:58 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 61.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2140; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2005.
