Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Thu 18 Feb 2021

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:48 here. Shashthi ended at 03:48, before it. Saptami ends at 06:28 Fri, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 11 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 17 Feb ran from sunset 17:27 Wed to sunrise 06:48, 13 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:48 to 17:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:28 to 06:46 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 16°40′. It leaves at 22:24, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 305.6° + 19° = 324.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 23:05, then Indra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 17:08, when the lead reaches 78°; Vanija until 06:28 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:48 to 06:46 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 11 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2020, 10:28 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 325.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
