Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 28 Jan 2096

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:13 here. Dwitiya ended at 10:42 Fri, before it. Tritiya ends at 08:42, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 25 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 08:42 and ended at 06:32 Sun, between the sunrises of 08:13 and 08:12 Sun. Saturday reads Tritiya and Sunday reads Panchami: Chaturthi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 27 Jan ran from sunset 18:11 Fri to sunrise 08:13, 14 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 56 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:13 to 18:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 14 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:12 to 08:12 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 45 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 10:16, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 283.1° + 318.8° = 601.9°, one full turn and 241.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 02:21 Sun, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 21:43 Fri, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 08:42.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:13 to 08:12 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 14 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 24 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 25 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 4 Apr 2095, 20:37 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 293.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2152; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2017.
