Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Thu 16 Jun 2022

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, 05:12 here. Pratipada ended at 10:02 Wed, before it. Dwitiya ends at 06:15, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 06:15 and ended at 02:41 Fri, between the sunrises of 05:12 and 05:12 Fri. Thursday reads Dwitiya and Friday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Wed 15 Jun ran from sunset 20:37 Wed to sunrise 05:12, 8 h 35 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:12 to 20:37, 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, 20:37 to 05:12 Fri, 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′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 263°20′. It leaves at 09:07, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 60.8° + 264.2° = 325°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 17:38, then Indra.

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 20:07 Wed, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 06:15.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:12 to 05:12 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Jun, 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 29 Jun, 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: 1 Apr 2022, 08:24 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 73.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2079; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1944.
