Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 5 Jun 2086

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:30 here. Saptami ended at 08:59 Tue, before it. Ashtami ends at 06:44, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 06:44 and ended at 04:20 Thu, between the sunrises of 05:30 and 05:30 Thu. Wednesday reads Ashtami and Thursday reads Dashami: Navami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 4 Jun ran from sunset 20:26 Tue to sunrise 05:30, 9 h 4 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:30 to 20:27, 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, 20:27 to 05:30 Thu, 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 19:14, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 49.8° + 325.2° = 375°, one full turn and 15°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 23:52, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 19:52 Tue, when the lead reached 270°; Kaulava runs until 06:44.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:30 to 05:30 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 11 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2086, 12:05 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 79.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
