Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 26 Feb 1907

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:10 here. Trayodashi ended at 02:01, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 02:59 Wed, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Mon 25 Feb ran from sunset 18:41 Mon to sunrise 06:10, 11 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:10 to 18:40, 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, 18:40 to 06:11 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 110°. It leaves at 21:24, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 314.1° + 112.1° = 426.2°, one full turn and 66.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 07:08, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 14:35, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 02:59 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:10 to 06:11 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 12 Feb 14:42 Tue to 14 Mar 03:04 Thu the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 03:59 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna 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 12 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 1906, 20:51 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 333.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1963; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1828.
