Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 8 Jul 2089

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 09:32 on Thu 7 Jul to 05:49 on Fri 8 Jul, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 8 Jul, at 05:37. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:37 here. Chaturdashi ended at 09:32 Thu, before it. Amavasya ends at 05:49, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 23 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 05:49 and ended at 01:58 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:37 and 05:38 Sat. Friday reads Amavasya and Saturday reads Dwitiya: Pratipada is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 7 Jul ran from sunset 20:32 Thu to sunrise 05:37, 9 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 20:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:32 to 05:38 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 80°. It leaves at 00:18 Sat, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 81.6° + 81.5° = 163.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 20:52, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada ended at 19:42 Thu, when the lead reached 354°; Nagava runs until 05:49.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:38 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 8 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 2089, 02:47 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 84.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2146; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2011.
