Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Sun 2 Sep 2012

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:19 here. Pratipada ended at 15:45 Sat, before it. Dwitiya ends at 16:08, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 1 Sep ran from sunset 19:29 Sat to sunrise 06:19, 10 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:19 to 19:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:27 to 06:20 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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 03:59 Mon, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 136.1° + 335.3° = 471.4°, one full turn and 111.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 21:34, then Ganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 03:52, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 16:08.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:19 to 06:20 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Aug 17:54 Fri to 16 Sep 04:10 Sun the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 16 Sep 14:24 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada itself.

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 16 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) here, and Bhadrapada (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2012, 15:37 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 157.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2069; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1934.
