In this small notes a formula to calculate Ayanamsa for a given date is given:
For the beginning of the year:
For the beginning of the year:
A = 16.90709 x Year/10000 - 0.757371 x Year/1000 x Year/1000 - 6.924161000100010
00
For any other date and month add the following also to get the correct Ayanamsa.
B = (Month-1 + date/30) X 1.1574074/1000
Ayanamsa = A + B
Let us calculate the Ayanamsa for 15-7-2009 (15th July 2009)
We have year = 2009, month = 7 (July = 7), date = 15
First we will calculate the value of

A = 16.90709 x 2.009/1000 0.757371 x 2.009/1000 x 2.009/1000 - 6.92416

A = 33.96634381
3.056810703 - 6.92416
A = 23.9853731
Now we calculate the values of B
Using the formula B above, we get the following
B = 6.5 x 1.1574074/1000= 7.5231481/1000
B = 0.0075231481
Ayanamsa = A + B = 23.9853731 + 0.0075231481 = 23.9928962
