adyatithi's Issues

Add Kumbha melas

• The Ujjain Simhastha is held once in 12 years, when the Jupiter is in Leo (Simha in Hindu astrology). The main snana (bathing ritual) happens on the full moon day in Vaisakha month of the Hindu calendar (April–May)

• The Kumbh Mela at Prayag is held in the month of Magh when Jupiter is in Aries, and Sun and Moon are in Capricorn; or Jupiter is in Taurus, and Sun in Capricorn. However, at times this astrological combination (Kumbh Yoga) does not coincide with the month of Magh. In such a case, the mela is still held in Magh. For example, the 1989 Kumbh Mela should have begun in mid-March, according to astrological calculations; however, it started in January.

• The Kumbh Mela at Haridwar is a mela held every 12 years at Haridwar, India. The exact date is determined according to Hindu astrology: the Mela is held when Jupiter is in Aquarius and the Sun enters Aries. The Haridwar Kumbh Mela had happened from 1 April to 30 April in the year 2021 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. An Ardh Kumbh ("Half Kumbh") Mela is held six years after a Kumbh Mela. The last Ardh Kumbh Mela took place in 2016.

How dates and period of Kumbh Mela is calculated

Hardwar (Haridwar) – when Jupiter is in Aquarius and the Sun is in Aries during the Hindu month of Caitra (March-April); 1986, 1998, 2010, 2021-2022.

Allahabad (Prayag) – when Jupiter is in Aries or Taurus and the Sun and Moon are in Capricorn during the Hindu month of Magha (January-February); 1989, 2001, 2012, 2024.

Nasik – when Jupiter and the Sun are in Leo in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada (August-September); 1980, 1992, 2003, 2015.

Ujjain – when Jupiter is in Leo and the Sun is in Aries, or when Jupiter, the Sun, and the Moon are in Libra during the Hindu month of Vaisakha (April-May); 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016.

Panchangam - generation error

Namskaram,

I ran into a runtime error when I tried to generate panchangam using below command

./gen_daily_cal.sh Philadelphia 39:95:26 75:16:52 'NA/Philadelphia' 2020 devanagari

See attached below for exact error details. last few lines of stdout error is File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\jyotisha\panchangam\temporal.py", line 151, in get_angam_float
lsun = (swe.calc_ut(jd, swe.SUN)[0] - swe.get_ayanamsa(jd)) % 360
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'tuple' and 'float'
error!

panchangam-master-error.txt

Once this is successful, I want to enhance Shri Karthikraman's work by generating appointments for all 5 angams for all 365 days for any given calendar year that can be imported into say google calender. Prior to that, I need to cross the immediate bottleneck as explained above.

Replace `\n` in strings with multi-line strings

I presume this is OK @vvasuki ? It will greatly improve readability...

folder organisation changed?

Not sure when this happened, but now I find festivals as under lunar_month/tithi/month_num/tithi_num whereas it used to be lunar_month/month_num/tithi/tithi_num. Is the present organisation more advantageous in some way?

sarasvatI and Ayudha pUjA-s

Have fixed these to conform to KA customs. If TN customs are indeed different, separate events may need to be created.

Restore khodiyAr mAtA to /devatA/shakti/

Recently, the khodiyAr mAtA event was moved from /devatA/shakti/ to mahApuruSha/general-indic-non-tropical/ .

This is wrong, since, despite being associated with some (non-historically attested) human birth story, she's considered a deity. So, it is fit to regard her as an devI, an avatAra - like rAma or kRShNa or vaiShNo devI or panjurli .

This move may have been motivated by disinterest in that deity (on part of one's religious community), and the desire to have a calendar without such. But rather than eroding the meaningfulness of the repo organization, this should be solved by other means as mentioned in jyotisham/jyotisha#136 .

Actions failing

I guess it's something simple but am not able to spot it, @vvasuki

migrator.py broken?

migrator.py is still necessary as the code still uses the legacy files for computation. It could be retired once jyotisham/jyotisha#17 is fixed.

There are some benefits to the mega file, in terms of book-keeping and across-the-board fixes, although efficiency is decidedly poor.

A blog type site for adyatithi

Similar to the README files that used to exist previously, I was thinking of creating a richer website for adyatithi that can be auto-built from the toml files. Any thoughts @vvasuki ?

README.md links broken

Links such as https://github.com/sanskrit-coders/adyatithi/tree/master/data/other/rare-days/combinations#ravipuṣyayoga-puṇyakālaḥ are broken.

Need an equivalent link for current festival layout for ICS generation.
