Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 4 Aug 2099

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 12:55 on Tue 4 Aug to 15:29 on Wed 5 Aug, so it holds moonrise only on Tue 4 Aug, at 21:51. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:00 here. Dwitiya ended at 10:35 Mon, before it. Tritiya ends at 12:55, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 3 Aug ran from sunset 20:12 Mon to sunrise 06:00, 9 h 48 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:00 to 20:11, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 46 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:11 to 06:01 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 13 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 06:38, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 106.8° + 319.7° = 426.5°, one full turn and 66.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 06:16, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 23:43 Mon, when the lead reached 210°; Vishti runs until 12:55.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:00 to 06:01 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 05:02 Sat 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 16 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 130.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2156; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2021.
