About the Calendar Hindu Temple and Cultural Center is pleased to release the 2009 calendar containing information needed for day to day usage by the devotees in Seattle. All the deities of the temple decked with grand alankaram adorn the pictures of the calendar which can be cherished for many years to come. Thithi: A month in the lunar calendar is the time the moon takes for each revolution around the earth. The lunar 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 numbering from 1 to 14 (Prathama, Dvithiya etc). The 15th thithi of Shukla Paksha is Poornima (full moon) & the 15th of the Krishna Paksha is Amavasya (moon is not visible as it is closest to the sun). So a 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. -akshatra: There are 27 Nakshatra (constellations) in the Zodiac. A Nakshatra (shown in italics in calendar) is the zodiac constellation 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 a day, i.e., a day starts with sunrise and ends with the subsequent sunrise. Thus, a thithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the thithi ends before the subsequent sunrise. According to the Julian (western) calendar, this means that the 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 Thithi 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 thithi 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 a festival is computed for different location on the earth, say Seattle.
