This calendar is specially prepared for the Greater Seattle area, and it may not be applicable in other parts of the world. All time presented here is adjusted for Daylight Saving Time. People usually align the Hindu festivals with the English dates based on the Indian calendar. They think that if an Indian calendar says Janmasthami on a certain date, say September nd, then it will appear as September nd everywhere in the world. The USA is :0 to :0 hours behind India, so some people will think it will also come the next day in the USA, i.e. September rd. They also argue that their family priest in India has told them to celebrate on this particular date and according to him the Indian calendar will apply to all places in the world. This is a completely wrong assumption. If the Earth was flat then you can use Indian calendar everywhere as sunrise sunset will happen all places equally. We won t have any timezones and the world will have only one timezone. Surya Siddhanta, Maharishi Vashistha, Bhaskaracharya taught us to prepare the panchangam based on the longitude, latitude of the place you live for these reasons you cannot bring a calendar from India and use abroad. The English date and changes at midnight; whereas the Hindu date (or Tithi) and day does not change at midnight. Hindu day changes at Sunrise. All days are from one Sunrise to another Sunrise. Sunday will start at one Sunrise and end at the next Sunrise.The Hindu date the Tithi changes depending on the position of the Sun and Moon. It can change anytime between two Sunrises. That is to say that if Prathama Tithi ends today at :0 it does not mean that Dwitiya Tithi will end tomorrow at the same time. It can end at :00, :0 or later. Tithi: In the lunar calendar the Moon takes a month for each revolution around the Earth. The lunar calendar is divided into two groups called Pakshas. The first one is called Krishna Paksha (or dark fortnight) or wanning moon. The second is called Shukla Paksha (or bright fortnight) or waxing moon. Each Paksha is divided into Tithis. The first 1 Tithis are the Sanskrit numbers from 1 to 1 (Prathama, Dvithiya etc). The th Tithi of Shukla Paksha is Poornima (full Moon) & the th of the Krishna Paksha is Amavasya (Moon is not visible as it is closest to the Sun). Lunar Month: A lunar month consists of 0 Tithis and each Tithi then corresponds to the time taken by the Moon to move 1 degrees with respect to the Sun. Krishna Paksha Tithis are in the darker color and Shukla Paksha Tithis are mentioned in the red color. Names of lunar months are Chaitra, Vaishakh, Jyestha, Ashadha, Shravana, Bhadrapada, Ashwayuja, Kartika, Margasira, Pushya, Maha, and Phalguna. Solar Month: A solar month begins when the Sun leaves one rasi and moves into the next. The solar month names are based on 1 signs, they are Mesha, Vrishbha, Mithuna, Karka, Simha, Kanya, Tula, Vrischika, Dhanush, Makara, Kumbha, and Mina. This system is widely used in Tamilnadu, Kerala, West Bengal, Orrisa, Punjab and Assam. Nakshatra: The path of the moon around earth is divided into segments or Nakshatras. A nakshatra changes when the moon leaves one of these segments and enters the next. Nakshatras are in italics. They are Ashwini, Bharani, Kritika, Rohini, Mrisgashirsh, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Ashlesha, Magha, Poorva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyestha, Moola, Poorva Shadha, Uttara Shadha, Shravan, Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Poorva Bhadra, U.ttara Bhadra and Revati. 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 :00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnight but before the next Sunrise at :00 AM (:00 :00) on the next calendar day. Hence :00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, :00 means 1:00 AM of the next day, and :00 means :00 AM of the next day. This is standard time notation for any Panchangam. The time for Sun s samkramana is when Sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. e.g. Makara : means Sun is entering Makara rasi at hour minute. All other times are the ending times. Rahukalam / Sunrise / Sunset Table: This calendar has rahukalam, sunrise & sunset table as well. These are calculated for Greater Seattle area. How festival dates are determined? The usual rule to observe a festival is to check the Tithi prevailing at the Sunrise. Each festival has different rules. For example Ganesha Chaturthi has to be oserved when the Chaturthi Tithi is observed during the th/th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is the difference between local Sunset and Sunrise. If Chaturthi is not prevailing during that period then take the second day. For example, if one Tithi is observed at moonrise in India it may or may not exist during moonrise on the same day in a different part of the world. If you are in America then it will be observed on previous day or the next day if you are in Japan, Fiji, Australia and other countries. For example if a total lunar eclipse is visible in India at :00 AM it will happen on the previous day in the USA. For these reasons Indian Panchangam you bring from India cannot be used outside of India. Uttarayana / Dakshinayana: The season occur based on earth s position around the Sun. This is due to Earth s tilt of. degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seaons and dependent on equinoxes and solstices. There is a common misconception that Makar Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 0 seconds due to precision of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makar Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think Makar Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 000 years. However Makar Samkranti still holds importance in our rituals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 1 th isn t Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December st / nd of every year. For more details please visit http://www.mypanchang.com or write to shastriji@mypanchang.com.
