Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 14 Sep 1915

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:10 here. Panchami ended at 22:07 Mon, before it. Shashthi ends at 19:45, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:04, came before Panchami ended at 06:37: this day reads Panchami. Shashthi ends at 04:15 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Shashthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:10, came after Panchami ended at 22:07 Mon: this day reads Shashthi.

The night of Mon 13 Sep ran from sunset 18:07 Mon to sunrise 06:10, 12 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:10 to 18:07, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:07 to 06:09 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 210°. It leaves at 07:59, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 147.8° + 212.2° = 360°, one full turn and 0°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 03:05 Wed, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 08:56, when the lead reaches 66°; Taitila until 19:45.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:10 to 06:09 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Oct, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 9 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada. This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 1915, 16:41 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 176.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1972; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1837.
