Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 13 Mar 1907

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 04:21 on Wed 13 Mar to 02:58 on Thu 14 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 13 Mar, at 06:08. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:14 here. Chaturdashi ended at 04:28, before it. Amavasya ends at 03:04 Thu, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 12 Mar ran from sunset 18:30 Tue to sunrise 06:14, 11 h 44 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:14 to 18:30, 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 night here, 18:30 to 06:15 Thu, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 09:38, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 329.1° + 318° = 647.1°, one full turn and 287.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 16:18, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 15:43, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 03:04 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:14 to 06:15 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 348.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1963; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1828.
