Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Fri 30 Jul 2004

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:19 here. Trayodashi ended at 22:07 Thu, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 18:33, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 05:41, came before Trayodashi ended at 06:37: this day reads Trayodashi. Chaturdashi ends at 03:03 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturdashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 29 Jul ran from sunset 18:12 Thu to sunrise 06:19, 12 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:19 to 18:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:12 to 06:19 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 263°20′. It leaves at 09:52, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 103.6° + 264.4° = 368°, one full turn and 8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 14:13, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 08:20, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 18:33.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:19 to 06:19 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 08:23 Sat to 15 Aug 22:23 Sun the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 08:18 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana itself.

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 17 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2004, 19:41 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 126.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2061; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1926.
