Panchang in Thazhecode, Kerala Wed 26 Jul 2017

Hariyali Teej follows the tithi at sunrise. Tritiya runs from 09:57 on Tue 25 Jul to 08:08 on Wed 26 Jul, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 26 Jul, at 06:12. No text giving Hariyali Teej’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Hariyali Teej: every date in Thazhecode

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:12 here. Dwitiya ended at 09:57 Tue, before it. Tritiya ends at 08:08, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 23 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 25 Jul ran from sunset 18:52 Tue to sunrise 06:12, 11 h 20 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:12 to 18:52, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:52 to 06:12 Thu, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 133°20′. It leaves at 04:23 Thu, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 99.1° + 134.1° = 233.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 17:16, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 20:58 Tue, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 08:08.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:12 to 06:12 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 22 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 23 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2017, 08:27 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 115.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
