Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Fri 7 Jul 2023

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 228°–240° is the 20th, Krishna Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:20 here. Chaturthi ended at 23:43 Thu, before it. Panchami ends at 20:47, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 6 Jul ran from sunset 20:38 Thu to sunrise 05:20, 8 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:20 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 05:21 Sat, 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 310°. It leaves at 18:46, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 80.6° + 311.8° = 392.4°, one full turn and 32.4°. 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 16:59, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 10:12, when the lead reaches 234°; Taitila until 20:47.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:20 to 05:21 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 17 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Jul, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 17 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 18:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 104° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
