Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 28 Sep 1917

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 04:23 on Fri 28 Sep to 00:51 on Sat 29 Sep, so only Friday’s pradosha (18:09–20:31) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:57 here. Dwadashi ended at 04:23, before it. Trayodashi ends at 00:51 Sat, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 27 Sep ran from sunset 18:09 Thu to sunrise 05:57, 11 h 48 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:57 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 05:56 Sat, 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 1 at 306°40′. It leaves at 02:53 Sat, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 161.9° + 306.9° = 468.8°, one full turn and 108.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 22:43, then Ganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 14:39, when the lead reaches 150°; Taitila until 00:51 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:57 to 05:56 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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 182.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1974; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1839.
