Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 15 Jun 2083

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 11:24 on Mon 14 Jun to 13:39 on Tue 15 Jun, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 15 Jun, at 05:29. 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, 05:29 here. Chaturdashi ended at 11:24 Mon, before it. Amavasya ends at 13:39, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 14 Jun ran from sunset 20:31 Mon to sunrise 05:29, 8 h 58 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 20:32, 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, 20:32 to 05:29 Wed, 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 53°20′. It leaves at 03:57 Wed, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 59.2° + 55.4° = 114.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 15:26, then Ganda.

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 ended at 00:32, when the lead reached 354°; Nagava runs until 13:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:29 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 16 May 22:15 Sun to 15 Jun 13:39 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 86.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2140; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2005.
