Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Mon 25 Jun 2001

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:18 here. Chaturthi ended at 21:01 Sun, before it. Panchami ends at 18:08, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 21 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:24, came before Chaturthi ended at 05:31: this day reads Chaturthi. Panchami ends at 02:38 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Panchami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:18, came after Chaturthi ended at 21:01 Sun: this day reads Panchami.

The night of Sun 24 Jun ran from sunset 18:06 Sun to sunrise 06:18, 12 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:18 to 18:06, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:06 to 06:18 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 120°. It leaves at 22:52, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 70° + 123.3° = 193.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 16:39, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 07:33, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 18:08.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:18 to 06:18 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Jul, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 21 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2001, 22:21 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 89.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2058; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1923.
