Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 8 Apr 2100

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:32 here. Trayodashi ended at 15:13 Wed, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 17:43, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 26 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 7 Apr ran from sunset 19:30 Wed to sunrise 06:32, 11 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:32 to 19:31, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:31 to 06:31 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 333°20′. It leaves at 04:05 Fri, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 353.1° + 336° = 689.1°, one full turn and 329.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 14:23, then Indra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti ended at 04:27, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 17:43.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:32 to 06:31 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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, 9 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 9 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna 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 376.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2156; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2021.
