Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 25 Jan 1901

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, 05:56 here. Panchami ended at 00:15, before it. Shashthi ends at 21:57, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 07:04, came before Panchami ended at 08:36: this day reads Panchami. Shashthi ends at 06:18 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Shashthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:56, came after Panchami ended at 00:15: this day reads Shashthi.

The night of Thu 24 Jan ran from sunset 18:54 Thu to sunrise 05:56, 11 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:56 to 18:54, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:54 to 05:56 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 343°20′. It leaves at 08:03, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 282.3° + 345.4° = 627.7°, one full turn and 267.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 01:18 Sat, then Sadhya.

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 11:04, when the lead reaches 66°; Taitila until 21:57.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:56 to 05:56 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 11 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 20 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 1900, 17:30 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 295.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1957; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1822.
