Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 15 Jan 2088

The Sun enters Makara at 11:10, between sunrise (08:21) and sunset (17:57). The Dharmasindhu’s punya kala is the 40 ghatis after the ingress, so the bath and gifts fall that day: Thu 15 Jan.

Makar Sankranti: every date in Sevan

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, 08:21 here. Saptami ended at 06:17, before it. Ashtami ends at 08:20 Fri, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 8 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 14 Jan ran from sunset 17:56 Wed to sunrise 08:21, 14 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:21 to 17:57, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:57 to 08:20 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 173°20′. It leaves at 07:52 Fri, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 269.9° + 174.8° = 444.7°, one full turn and 84.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 00:06 Fri, then Dhriti.

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 runs until 19:14, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 08:20 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:21 to 08:20 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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 15 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 23 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 2087, 13:27 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 281.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2144; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2009.
