Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 19 Aug 2096

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:15 here. Amavasya ended at 07:02 Sat, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:20, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 06:20 and ended at 06:14 Mon, between the sunrises of 06:15 and 06:16 Mon. Sunday reads Pratipada and Monday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 18 Aug ran from sunset 19:52 Sat to sunrise 06:15, 10 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 19:50, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 41 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:50 to 06:16 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 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 Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 133°20′. It leaves at 05:45 Mon, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 122° + 133.9° = 255.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 00:42 Mon, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna ended at 18:37 Sat, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 06:20.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:16 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 Aug 07:02 Sat to 16 Sep 19:12 Sun the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 17 Sep 05:06 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2096, 12:56 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 142.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2153; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2018.
