Panchang in Simrishamn, Skåne, Sweden Sun 28 Nov 2027

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:01 here. Amavasya ended at 04:24, before it. Pratipada ends at 04:43 Mon, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 28 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 27 Nov ran from sunset 15:39 Sat to sunrise 08:01, 16 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 5 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:01 to 15:38, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 57 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 15:38 to 08:02 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 3 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 223°20′. It leaves at 14:10, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 221.6° + 223.4° = 445°, one full turn and 85°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 22:34, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 16:29, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 04:43 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:01 to 08:02 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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 28 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha 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 228.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
