Panchang in Atliaca, Guerrero, Mexico Tue 28 Nov 2023

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:50 here. Pratipada ended at 02:35, before it. Dwitiya ends at 02:27 Wed, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 27 Nov ran from sunset 18:00 Mon to sunrise 06:50, 12 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:50 to 18:00, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:00 to 06:50 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 53°20′. It leaves at 02:28 Wed, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 221.8° + 56° = 277.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 10:33, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 14:27, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 02:27 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:50 to 06:50 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 12 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 12 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 11:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 245.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
