Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Mon 25 Oct 2032

Ahoi Ashtami’s puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Ashtami runs from 15:34 on Mon 25 Oct to 17:31 on Tue 26 Oct, so only Monday’s pradosha (17:54–20:36) falls within it. No text giving Ahoi Ashtami’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Ahoi Ashtami: every date in Split

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:21 here. Shashthi ended at 14:13 Sun, before it. Saptami ends at 15:34, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 18 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 24 Oct ran from sunset 17:56 Sun to sunrise 07:21, 13 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:21 to 17:54, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 19 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:54 to 07:22 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 41 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 86°40′. It leaves at 17:27, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 188° + 88.2° = 276.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 14:13, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 02:48, when the lead reached 258°; Bava runs until 15:34.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:21 to 07:22 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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, 3 Nov, 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 3 Nov, 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: 10 Apr 2032, 04:39 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 191.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2089; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1954.
