Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 23 May 2083

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:37 here. Panchami ended at 08:51 Sat, before it. Shashthi ends at 09:53, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 22 May ran from sunset 20:16 Sat to sunrise 05:37, 9 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 20:17, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:17 to 05:36 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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 1 at 106°40′. It leaves at 05:59 Mon, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 37.2° + 107.1° = 144.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 09:54, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 21:26 Sat, when the lead reached 66°; Taitila runs until 09:53.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:36 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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 64.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2140; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2005.
