Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 25 Sep 1917

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, 06:00 here. Ashtami ended at 14:08 Mon, before it. Navami ends at 12:34, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Mon 24 Sep ran from sunset 18:08 Mon to sunrise 06:00, 11 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:00 to 18:09, 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, 18:09 to 05:59 Wed, 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′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 263°20′. It leaves at 11:32, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 159° + 263.5° = 422.5°, one full turn and 62.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 12:46, then Atiganda.

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 ended at 01:26, when the lead reached 102°; Kaulava runs until 12:34.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:00 to 05:59 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Sep 07:27 Sun to 15 Oct 23:40 Mon the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 16 Oct 12:55 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 16 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 1917, 01:04 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 179.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1974; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1839.
