Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 23 Jul 2088

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:49 here. Panchami ended at 00:46, before it. Shashthi ends at 00:37 Sat, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 22 Jul ran from sunset 20:23 Thu to sunrise 05:49, 9 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:49 to 20:23, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:23 to 05:50 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 156°40′. It leaves at 08:10, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 96.1° + 158.7° = 254.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 02:11 Sat, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 12:35, when the lead reaches 66°; Taitila until 00:37 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:49 to 05:50 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 12:40 Sun to 16 Aug 20:16 Mon the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 03:57 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 18 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2088, 04:01 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 117.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2145; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2010.
