Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 18 Jul 2099

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, 05:45 here. Amavasya ended at 05:02, before it. Pratipada ends at 02:17 Sun, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:35, came before Amavasya ended at 06:32: this day reads Amavasya. Pratipada ends at 03:47 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Pratipada: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:45, came after Amavasya ended at 05:02: this day reads Pratipada.

The night of Fri 17 Jul ran from sunset 20:28 Fri to sunrise 05:45, 9 h 17 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:45 to 20:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:27 to 05:45 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 90°. It leaves at 09:39, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 90.6° + 91° = 181.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 13:42, then Vajra.

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 runs until 15:42, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 02:17 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:45 to 05:45 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 18 Jul 05:02 to 16 Aug 12:56 Sun the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 23:30 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2099, 02:48 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 114.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2156; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2021.
