Panchang in Thazhecode, Kerala Fri 23 Jun 2034

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:04 here. Shashthi ended at 06:12 Thu, before it. Saptami ends at 07:17, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 22 Jun ran from sunset 18:51 Thu to sunrise 06:04, 11 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:04 to 18:51, 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, 18:51 to 06:04 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 150°. It leaves at 00:16 Sat, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 67.3° + 150.8° = 218.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 21:44, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 18:39 Thu, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 07:17.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:04 to 06:04 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 15:55 Fri to 15 Jul 23:45 Sat the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 00:47 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha itself.

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 16 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2034, 15:44 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 91.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2091; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1956.
