Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 11 Mar 2098

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:17 here. Ashtami ended at 07:07, before it. Navami ends at 04:56 Wed, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 3 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:35, came before Ashtami ended at 08:37: this day reads Ashtami. Navami ends at 06:26 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Navami: it is kshaya.

Sevan · UTC+4

Sunrise here, 07:17, came after Ashtami ended at 07:07: this day reads Navami.

The night of Mon 10 Mar ran from sunset 19:01 Mon to sunrise 07:17, 12 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:17 to 19:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:02 to 07:15 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 60°. It leaves at 15:17, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 325.9° + 62° = 387.9°, one full turn and 27.9°. 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 02:31 Wed, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 18:04, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 04:56 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:17 to 07:15 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 3 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 12 Apr 2097, 13:28 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 327.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2154; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2019.
