Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 7 Jul 2091

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:36 here. Panchami ended at 04:19 Fri, before it. Shashthi ends at 06:02, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 04:19 Fri, before sunrise at 05:36 Fri, and ends at 06:02, after the next sunrise at 05:36. Both days read Shashthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 6 Jul ran from sunset 20:33 Fri to sunrise 05:36, 9 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:36 to 20:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:33 to 05:37 Sun, 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 330°. It leaves at 08:23, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 80.1° + 331.9° = 412°, one full turn and 52°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 07:56, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 17:06 Fri, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 06:02.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:36 to 05:37 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jun 06:42 Sun to 16 Jul 18:17 Mon the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 13:52 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 16 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2091, 07:47 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 105.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2148; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2013.
