Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 22 Oct 2093

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:19 here. Pratipada ended at 10:28 Wed, before it. Dwitiya ends at 09:00, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 09:00 and ended at 07:16 Fri, between the sunrises of 07:19 and 07:20 Fri. Thursday reads Dwitiya and Friday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Wed 21 Oct ran from sunset 18:10 Wed to sunrise 07:19, 13 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:19 to 18:09, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:09 to 07:20 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 206°40′. It leaves at 17:31, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 184.3° + 207.4° = 391.7°, one full turn and 31.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 20:36, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 21:46 Wed, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 09:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:19 to 07:20 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 20 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 2093, 07:19 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 202.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2150; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2015.
