Panchang in Simrishamn, Skåne, Sweden Wed 9 Jun 2027

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:20 here. Chaturthi ended at 08:52 Tue, before it. Panchami ends at 06:05, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 4 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 06:05 and ended at 03:42 Thu, between the sunrises of 04:20 and 04:20 Thu. Wednesday reads Panchami and Thursday reads Saptami: Shashthi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 8 Jun ran from sunset 21:41 Tue to sunrise 04:20, 6 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 26 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:20 to 21:42, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 10 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:42 to 04:20 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 49 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 110°. It leaves at 16:18, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 53.8° + 112.8° = 166.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 14:47, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 19:26 Tue, when the lead reached 54°; Balava runs until 06:05.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:20 to 04:20 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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, 4 Jul, 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 4 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha 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 61.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
