Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Tue 16 May 2034

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 07:44 on Tue 16 May to 04:01 on Wed 17 May, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (23:41–00:30 Wed) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

Masik Shivratri: every date in Davinópolis

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:10 here. Dwadashi ended at 11:10 Mon, before it. Trayodashi ends at 07:44, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 07:44 and ended at 04:01 Wed, between the sunrises of 06:10 and 06:10 Wed. Tuesday reads Trayodashi and Wednesday reads Amavasya: Chaturdashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 15 May ran from sunset 18:01 Mon to sunrise 06:10, 12 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:10 to 18:01, 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, 18:01 to 06:10 Wed, 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 3°20′. It leaves at 17:17, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 31.3° + 6.3° = 37.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 09:46, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 21:30 Mon, when the lead reached 330°; Vanija runs until 07:44.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:10 to 06:10 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 18 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2034, 07:14 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 55.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2091; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1956.
