About the Calendar

Hindu Temple and Cultural Center is pleased to

release the 2018 calendar containing information needed for

the day to day usage by the devotees in the greater Seattle

Area.

Thithi: A month in the lunar calendar is the time the moon

takes for each revolution around the earth. The lunar month

is divided into two groups, called Pakshas, one when the

moon is waning (dark fortnight or Krishna Paksha) & when

the moon is waxing (bright fortnight or Shukla Paksha). Each

paksha is divided into 15 thithis. The first 14 thithis are

Sanskrit numberings from 1 to 14 (Prathama, Dwithiya etc).

The 15th thithi of Shukla Paksha is Purnima (full moon) &

the 15th of the Krishna Paksha is Amavasya (moon is not

visible as it is closes to the sun). So as lunar month consists

of 30 thithis & each thithi then corresponds to the time taken

by the moon to move 12 degrees, with respect to the sun.

Nakshatra: There are 27 Nakshatra (constellations) in the

Zodiac. A Nakshatra (shown in italics in calendar) is the

zodiac constellations in which the moon is found on the

particular day.

Timings listed in the calendar: The times listed after a

Thithi & Nakshatra are the times at which the Thithi or

Nakshatra ends. The panchanga uses the vedic definition of

day , i.e a day starts with sunrise and ends with subsequent

sunrise. Thus a thithi of 29:00 indicates that the thithi ends

before the subsequent sunrise. According to the Julian

(western) calendar, this means that thithi ends at 5:00 AM

(29:00 – 24:00) on the next day.

Festivals listed differently than in India: Hindu

festivals are generally based on the Tithi and/or Nakshatra as

per the lunar calendar (& some as per the solar calendar). For

example Rama Navami is Chaitra Shukla Navami

Madhyahna. Each thithi begins & ends at the same instant all

over the world. After correcting for the time zones , the tithi

will begin/end on different local times in different parts of

the world. Since India has little variation in terms of sunrise/

sunset, a panchanga computed for one area is generally

usable as-is throughout the country. This is not true when

festival is computed for different location on the earth say

Seattle.
