Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Mon 8 Jun 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:14 here. Saptami ended at 18:55 Sun, before it. Ashtami ends at 18:54, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 7 Jun ran from sunset 18:02 Sun to sunrise 06:14, 12 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:14 to 18:03, 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, 18:03 to 06:14 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 320°. It leaves at 01:09 Tue, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 53.4° + 323° = 376.4°, one full turn and 16.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 23:48, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 07:00, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 18:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:14 to 06:14 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 17:01 Sat to 14 Jun 23:54 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 04:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 14 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 22:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 79.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
