Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 24 Oct 2086

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:21 here. Dwitiya ended at 06:54, before it. Tritiya ends at 04:01 Fri, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:27, came before Dwitiya ended at 08:24: this day reads Dwitiya. Tritiya ends at 05:31 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Tritiya: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:21, came after Dwitiya ended at 06:54: this day reads Tritiya.

The night of Wed 23 Oct ran from sunset 18:08 Wed to sunrise 07:21, 13 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:21 to 18:06, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:06 to 07:22 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 30°. It leaves at 23:05, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 186.1° + 30.4° = 216.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 22:55, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 17:23, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 04:01 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:21 to 07:22 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 18 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 6 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina 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 216° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
