Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 6 Mar 1907

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:13 here. Shashthi ended at 20:40 Tue, before it. Saptami ends at 18:42, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 5 Mar ran from sunset 18:36 Tue to sunrise 06:13, 11 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:13 to 18:35, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:35 to 06:13 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 216°40′. It leaves at 18:47, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 322.1° + 219.3° = 541.4°, one full turn and 181.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 14:37, then Vajra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 07:42, when the lead reaches 258°; Bava until 18:42.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:13 to 06:13 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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 14 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) here, and Phalguna (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 341.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1963; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1828.
