Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 12 Jun 2083

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 06:35 on Sat 12 Jun to 09:01 on Sun 13 Jun, so only Saturday’s pradosha (20:31–22:18) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Sevan

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, 05:29 here. Ekadashi ended at 04:13 Fri, before it. Dwadashi ends at 06:35, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 04:13 Fri, before sunrise at 05:29 Fri, and ends at 06:35, after the next sunrise at 05:29. Both days read Dwadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 11 Jun ran from sunset 20:30 Fri to sunrise 05:29, 8 h 59 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 20:31, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:31 to 05:29 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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 19:20, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 56.3° + 19.8° = 76.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 12:42, then Sukarma.

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 ended at 17:23 Fri, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 06:35.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:29 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 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 15 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 83.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2140; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2005.
