Day Chogadia Night Chogadia How to use Chogadia? Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Calculated from sunrise to sunset. Calculate dinamana (Difference between Uveg Amrut Rog Labh Shubh Chal Kal Shubh Chal Kal Udveg Amrut Rog Labh sunrise and the sunset). Divide by 8 and that will give you duration of each Chal Kal Udveg Amrut Rog Labh Shubh Rog Labh Shubh Chal Kal Udveg Amrut chogadia. Counting from 6 AM to 6 PM is absurd and nonsense, as the Sun Labh Shubh Chal Kal Udveg Amrut Rog Udveg Amrut Rog Labh Shubh Chal Kal doesn’t even rise at 6 AM and sets at 6 PM. When one chogadia ends another Amrut Rog Labh Shubh Chal Kal Udveg Chal Kal Udveg Amrut Rog Labh Shubh starts.

Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location in world”. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. Some use their 23:xx 24:xx 25:xx 26:xx 27:xx 28:xx 29:xx 30:xx 31:xx favorite panchangam from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from Indian 11:xx PM 0:xx AM 1:xx AM 2:xx AM 3:xx AM 4:xx AM 5:xx AM 6:xx AM 7:xx AM panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. Same date next date next date next date next date next date next date next date next date

THE INDIAN DATE – TITHI: What is Indian date – Tithi? Why it is different from an English date? Why it is not exactly 24 Here if the hour number is greater than 12 it means PM. When the hour number is greater than 23 then it ends on the next hours? The Indian date or Tithi is “A lunar day, or the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the Moon and the English date before sunrise, that means subtract 24 hours from hour to get exact time and take next English date. For example Sun to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately 26 tithi Amavasya ends at 26:36 on 19th March 2015 it means it really ends past midnight of 19th March 2015 but before next day hours”. sunrise of 20th March. Here it ends at 2:36 AM on 20th March. I know this is little complex but English Dates don’t exactly map to Hindu Day and Date. Hindu day is from one sunrise to another and Hindu Date don’t start at midnight.

This definition clearly says an Indian Tithi is based on the following:  Daily motions and celestial longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon. Hence it is a celestial event and they begin and end at the same instance all over the world.

FESTIVAL DETERMINATION: Each festival has a unique rule. These rules are written in Sanskrit as a part of dharmashastra or agama. For example one of the rule for the Karwa Chauth is: “The Karwa Chauth celebrated on the 4th Tithi of Ashwin About myPanchang.com: myPanchang.com is the leading panchang maker providing the most accurate panchagam Krishna paksha or Purnimant Karthik Krishna Paksha when the Tithi exists during the Moon rise”. Another rule for Ganesh in English and various Indian languages and panchangam for over more than 394 cities all over the world based on highly Chaturthi says: “The Ganesh Chaturthi is observed when the Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi Tithi exists during the accurate driga ganitha or thiruganitha. Most temples in the world rely on myPanchang.com for accurate Panchang data and festival observance times. madhyahana (noon) time”. Likewise different rules exist for each festival. The noon, the midnight and other parts of the day cannot be calculated as per fixed clock time. These are based on local sunrise and local sunset. Hence, a festival observance For more details please visit http://www.mypanchang.com. date calculations requires Tithi begin and end times, Daily local Sunrise and sunset timings, Daily Moonrise and Moonset timings – These are always dependent on longitude, latitude, and altitude.

Seattle, WA USA TIMINGS LISTED IN THE CALENDAR: The Tithi & Nakshatra times indicate a time when the Tithi or Nakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., A day starts with Sunrise and ends with the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnight but before the next Sunrise at 5:00 AM (29:00 – 24:00) on the next calendar day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, 25:00 means 1:00 AM of the next day, and 29:00

means 5:00 AM of the next day. This is standard time notation for any Panchangam. The time for Sun’s Sankramana is Advisors when Sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. eg. Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36 minute. All Dr. Ramchandra Joisa, Sistla Somayajulu other times are the ending times.

Difference between Festival dates in India and America Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for Because planets are calculated from the center of the earth -- Geocentric. Hence, their position at the given all location in world”. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. Some time will be same all over the world (After subtracting the time difference). The same way to observe any celestial use their favorite Panchangam from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates event occurs we need to convert it to our local time, and also the same way this thithi, nakshatra, yoga and from Indian Panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. Only if the earth is flat we can karna positions are same at any given time in the world. So panchang makers convert this to Indian time. The use Indian calendar everywhere in the world. If the earth is flat then Sun & Moon will rise all places at the same time, very same say we need to covert it to our time zone for America (PST/PDT, CST/CDT, MST/MDT, EST/EDT). and no need of time zones and hence Indian Panchangam can be used everywhere in the world but the trouble is the After adding the time difference they'll assign to the resulting English date.Hence, when the calendar is made earth is round and the Sun does not rise at the same time, or set at the same time all over the world. The same goes of India the date they mention is when that tithi will end as per the English date in India. If you take the same for the Moon. Plus we have time differences. Due to the time differences there is another misconception that as date and time use it anywhere in the world as it is then we have a wrong result because of the time difference. USA/Canada and Europe is behind in time then Festival will come a day later in USA/Canada and Europe. This is The time difference between the India and the London is 5 hours 30 minutes, Time difference between Seattle, absurd. One needs to learn mathematics to remove the confusion. Let me explain. If Seattle/Vancouver/California is WA and India is 13 hours 30 minutes. The planets don't remain static during that time. They keep on moving 13 hours 30 minutes behind Indian Standard Time and say an event is occurring in India (For example One day and hence at the same time and date in different parts of the world we will have a new tithi. But if you add and International Cricket match at 8 AM in India then will it be the previous day in USA/Canada or the next day? If you think subtract the time difference from the Indian calendar you'll arrive at the time when that tithi will change in your next day then it is not a live telecast. It is just a relay. To arrive the time you’ll subtract 13 hours 30 minutes from 8 AM. locality too. Too complex? Let me give you one example.

Which gives 6 hours 30 PM the previous day in USA/Canada. Same rule is applied here. As Tithis, Nakshatras, Yoga For example: October 17th 2008 the Ashwayuja (Ashwin) Krishna Paksha / Poornimant Kartik Krishna paksha and Karana and All Planetary positions happening at the same instance all over the world. After this the way festivals tithi Tritiya ends at 16:39:21 Indian Standard Time, and chturthi starts. That means at 16:00 hours there is tritiya are determined in India the same rules has to be applied. This requires extensive knowledge of Panchangam Agama still prevailing in India. Now on October 17th 2008 in Seattle, WA at the 16:00 hours we won't have tritiya at that (Shastras) and use Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana, Day (Vaar) and Local factors like Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, time. We already have chaturthi started why? a) Planets keep on moving.... 13 hours have passed and the Moonset and the festival dates are determines. Hence, sometimes festivals may appear on the same day as India or position of sun and moon have changed. So what time Tritiya will end in Seattle? The time difference is 13 hours a day before in the countries west of India. Where as in the countries east of India the festival may appear on the same 30 minutes (with one our day light saving time it gives the difference of 12 hours 30 minutes from IST). So, let's date as India or a day later. subtract 12 hours 30 minutes from the 16:39:21. That gives us 04:09:21 AM on October 17th. So on October There is a basic difference between English date and Hindu Date: 17th after that time we'll have chaturthi tithi and before we have tritiya. The same way if tithi ends at 8:39 AM  The English date and the day (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday etc..) changes at the midnight on Sept 12 in India it will end at 20:09 PM on Sept 11th in Seattle. The same way Western Australia is 8 hours  The Hindu date or tithi (the festival falls in to) doesn't change at the midnight. ahead of GMT and hence the chaturthi will end there at 12:09 PM on Sept 12th. The planets don't wait for o The Hindu date (tithi -- depends on the positions of sun and the moon at any given time) appropriate tithi to arrive on some English date at any location in the world. If it really did we won't have any changes anytime as celestial bodies keep moving. days and nights (If it happens then celestial bodies will remain static in sky). The earth is round and it keeps o The Tithi duration is the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the moving, we have days and nights. It doesn't wait for tithi or festivals. Time never waits for anyone. It goes on. sun to increase by 12°. Hence Tithi duration have varies from approximately 19 to The sun doesn't rise instantly at the same time all over the world Hence we need to convert the tithi, nakshatra, approximately 26 hours. They can change anytime between one Sunrise to another yoga, and karana time to local standard time. Now we know what time a given tithi ends it's a time to decide Sunrise. If prathama tithi ends today at 23:02 it doesn't mean that dwitiya tithi will end festival dates for each region.

tomorrow at the same time. It can end at 18:00, 18:09 or 28:27 (Times greater than 24 How festivals are determined? The usual rule to observe festival is whenever that tithi prevails at the sunrise means ending after midnight but before next day sunrise). time. But for certain festivals rules change, for example: Ganesh Chaturthi. Sankathara (Sankshathi chauth) o When tithi ends past midnight 24 hours are added to the end time to indicate it ends past chaturthi, Janmashtami, Mahashivaratri, Karwa Chauth, etc... For example Ganesha chaturthi has to be oserved midnight but before next day sunrise. when the chaturthi tithi is observed during the 3/5th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is the difference of local  Hindu day (Vaar) also doesn't change at the midnight. Hindu day changes at the sunrise. So we have sunset and the sunrise on the same day. If chaturthi is not prevailing during that period then take the second a day from one sunrise to another sunrise. day. Likewise for the karwa chauth and the sankathara chaturthi the chaturthi tithi must be prevailing during the Panchangam contains two types of calculations: moonrise time, if it doesn't prevail then take the day where it prevails during the sunrise. So for example if one  One is based on the local coordinates like longitude and latitude. (The earth is not flat, and it is kinda thithi is observed at the moonrise time in india it may or may not be observed during the moonrise time on the round and horizon will vary from place to place on earth. Hence these calculation may vary from the place to same day in the different part of the world. It may be very well observed on the previous day if you are in America place.): Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset or the next day if you are in Japan, Fiji, Australia and other countries, depending on the local events like sunrise,  Another is based on geocentric astronomical phenomenon (The planetary positions will be different moonrise, and time difference. Sometime it may very well could be observed on the same day as the date for every second) like: (The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana and daily planetary positions are based mentioned in India. Now we have different sunrise times, different sunset, moonrise timings and tithi timings on this set of calculations): Planetary positions (Sun, Moon, etc.), Solar or Lunar Eclipse makes need for a separate panchangam for different place. The astronomical phenomenon happens instantly at the same moment on the earth and hence thithis, nakshatra Now if panchang makers in India tries to keep each and every place in mind then they will be creating panchanga will end at the same time / instance all over the world and we have to convert them to the local standard time. for every city, town in the world. Who'll buy it? Printing costs etc... So they just make panchang for the one of When an astronomical phenomina occurs and it's occurs all over the world at the same instance. One has to their city in India. Now given that example even the IST remains same for Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from converts timings into their respective timezone. Printed panchanga give planetary positions of 5:30 IST. They Kutch to West Bengal the festival dates could be very well different in certain city. For example for sankathara are bascially 0:00 GMT. The planets don't wait for sunrise or sunset at the particular place. They just keep chaturthi moon rise time is important, same thing for karwa chauth. Now let's take an example: Moonrise in New moving, like earth is moving around the Sun. Hence the distance we call it tithi (quotient or the result of the Delhi on a given date is at 19:36 and in West Bengal, Kolkatta is at 19:25 PM. Now tritiya ends at 19:32 PM division = (sun - moon)/12.0) can change at any time. So new thithi can change at 6:00 AM, 6:32 AM, or 11:57 IST. So Kolkatta will celebrate karwa chauth/sankathara chaturthi on the next day where as people in New Delhi PM or any time during the day. There is no fix tithi ending time like English date. will celebrate on the same day.
