Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 9 Mar 1907

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:13 here. Navami ended at 14:31 Fri, before it. Dashami ends at 12:22, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 8 Mar ran from sunset 18:33 Fri to sunrise 06:13, 11 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:13 to 18:33, 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, 18:33 to 06:14 Sun, 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′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 260°. It leaves at 14:35, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 325.1° + 261.7° = 586.8°, one full turn and 226.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 03:03 Sun, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 01:27, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 12:22.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:13 to 06:14 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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 344.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1963; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1828.
