Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Sun 26 Jun 2016

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:15 here. Panchami ended at 12:06 Sat, before it. Shashthi ends at 10:51, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 20 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 25 Jun ran from sunset 20:39 Sat to sunrise 05:15, 8 h 36 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:15 to 20:39, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 55 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:39 to 05:15 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 4 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 05:25, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 70.9° + 319.9° = 390.8°, one full turn and 30.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 20:20, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 23:31 Sat, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 10:51.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:15 to 05:15 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 14 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 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2016, 13:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 76.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
