Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 24 May 1912

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:33 here. Ashtami ended at 22:16 Thu, before it. Navami ends at 20:46, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:26, came before Ashtami ended at 06:46: this day reads Ashtami. Navami ends at 05:16 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Navami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:33, came after Ashtami ended at 22:16 Thu: this day reads Navami.

The night of Thu 23 May ran from sunset 17:45 Thu to sunrise 06:33, 12 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:33 to 17:45, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:45 to 06:33 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 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 Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 140°. It leaves at 17:05, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 40.2° + 140.6° = 180.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 16:04, then Vajra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 09:28, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 20:46.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:33 to 06:33 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 13 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 15 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 1912, 19:08 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 64.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1969; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1834.
