Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Sun 8 Oct 2028

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, 07:00 here. Chaturthi ended at 01:21, before it. Panchami ends at 02:12 Mon, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 7 Oct ran from sunset 18:24 Sat to sunrise 07:00, 12 h 36 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:00 to 18:22, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:22 to 07:01 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 40°. It leaves at 04:46 Mon, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 171.2° + 41.9° = 213.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 07:27, then Vyatipata.

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 13:50, when the lead reaches 234°; Taitila until 02:12 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:00 to 07:01 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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Oct, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 18 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 26 Mar 2028, 06:31 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 189.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
