Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Thu 5 Apr 2029

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, 06:11 here. Saptami ended at 04:54, before it. Ashtami ends at 05:00 Fri, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 4 Apr ran from sunset 18:13 Wed to sunrise 06:11, 11 h 58 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:11 to 18:12, 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 night here, 18:12 to 06:11 Fri, 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 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 1 at 253°20′. It leaves at 01:29 Fri, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 351.6° + 256.3° = 607.9°, one full turn and 247.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 15:34, then Shiva.

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 16:51, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 05:00 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:11 to 06:11 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 01:19 Thu to 13 Apr 18:40 Fri the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 19:24 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 13 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 01:19 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 21° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
