Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 1 Aug 2088

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:58 here. Trayodashi ended at 14:12 Sat, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 16:07, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 31 Jul ran from sunset 20:15 Sat to sunrise 05:58, 9 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:58 to 20:14, 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 night here, 20:14 to 05:59 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 13 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 Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 266°40′. It leaves at 05:37 Mon, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 104.7° + 268° = 372.7°, one full turn and 12.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 07:01, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 03:12, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 16:07.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:58 to 05:59 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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 126.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2145; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2010.
