Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Fri 26 Jun 2020

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:18 here. Panchami ended at 22:33 Thu, before it. Shashthi ends at 20:34, when the lead reaches 72°. 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, 05:25, came before Panchami ended at 07:03: this day reads Panchami. Shashthi ends at 05:04 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Shashthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:18, came after Panchami ended at 22:33 Thu: this day reads Shashthi.

The night of Thu 25 Jun ran from sunset 18:06 Thu 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 Sat, 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 133°20′. It leaves at 01:41 Sat, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 71.1° + 135.3° = 206.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 17:24, then Vyatipata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 09:35, when the lead reaches 66°; Taitila until 20:34.

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

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 2020, 06:28 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 91° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
