Panchang in Shkodër, Shkodër County, Albania Sun 9 May 2027

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:28 here. Dwitiya ended at 08:13 Sat, before it. Tritiya ends at 05:33, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 05:33 and ended at 02:53 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:28 and 05:27 Mon. Sunday reads Tritiya and Monday reads Panchami: Chaturthi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 8 May ran from sunset 19:48 Sat to sunrise 05:28, 9 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:28 to 19:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:49 to 05:27 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 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 16:29, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 24.1° + 60° = 84.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 19:50, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 18:54 Sat, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 05:33.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:28 to 05:27 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 6 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 01:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 31.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
