Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Wed 8 Jul 2015

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:21 here. Shashthi ended at 13:39 Tue, before it. Saptami ends at 11:25, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 7 Jul ran from sunset 20:37 Tue to sunrise 05:21, 8 h 44 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:21 to 20:37, 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 night here, 20:37 to 05:22 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 5 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 3 at 340°. It leaves at 12:49, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 81.6° + 342.3° = 423.9°, one full turn and 63.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 09:47, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 00:31, when the lead reached 258°; Bava runs until 11:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:21 to 05:22 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 16:05 Tue to 16 Jul 03:24 Thu the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 00:32 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 10:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 106.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
