Panchang in Shkodër, Shkodër County, Albania Thu 15 Jun 2023

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 05:02 on Thu 15 Jun to 05:10 on Fri 16 Jun, so only Thursday’s pradosha (20:19–22:04) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Shkodër

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:05 here. Dwadashi ended at 05:02, before it. Trayodashi ends at 05:10 Fri, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 4 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Trayodashi began at 05:02, before sunrise at 05:05, and ends at 05:10 Fri, after the next sunrise at 05:05 Fri. Both days read Trayodashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 14 Jun ran from sunset 20:19 Wed to sunrise 05:05, 8 h 46 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:05 to 20:19, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 54 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 23°20′. It leaves at 10:41, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 59.6° + 23.6° = 83.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 22:31, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 17:03, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 05:10 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:05 to 05:05 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 18:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 83° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
