Panchang in Thazhecode, Kerala Thu 6 Aug 2020

Kajari Teej follows the tithi at sunrise. Tritiya runs from 22:50 on Wed 5 Aug to 00:15 on Fri 7 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 6 Aug, at 06:14. No text giving Kajari Teej’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Kajari Teej: every date in Thazhecode

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:14 here. Dwitiya ended at 22:50 Wed, before it. Tritiya ends at 00:15 Fri, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 5 Aug ran from sunset 18:49 Wed to sunrise 06:14, 11 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:14 to 18:48, 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 night here, 18:48 to 06:14 Fri, 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 11:18, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 109.9° + 317.4° = 427.3°, one full turn and 67.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 05:21 Fri, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 11:29, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 00:15 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:14 to 06:14 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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 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 19 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2020, 14:58 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 129.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
