Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Wed 14 Jan 2032

The Sun enters Makara at 19:24, after sunset (18:30) but within 3 ghatis of it. The Dharmasindhu then keeps the punya kala on that day: Wed 14 Jan.

Makar Sankranti: every date in Davinópolis

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:06 here. Pratipada ended at 13:14 Tue, before it. Dwitiya ends at 09:26, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 09:26 and ended at 05:54 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:06 and 06:06 Thu. Wednesday reads Dwitiya and Thursday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 13 Jan ran from sunset 18:30 Tue to sunrise 06:06, 11 h 36 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:06 to 18:30, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:30 to 06:06 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 290°. It leaves at 09:03, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 269.4° + 291.5° = 560.9°, one full turn and 200.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 00:34 Thu, then Vyatipata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 23:19 Tue, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 09:26.

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

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 12 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 00:49 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 291.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
