Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 29 Sep 1917

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:56 here. Trayodashi ended at 00:51, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 21:10, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:12, came before Trayodashi ended at 09:21: this day reads Trayodashi. Chaturdashi ends at 05:40 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturdashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Fri 28 Sep ran from sunset 18:09 Fri to sunrise 05:56, 11 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:56 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 Sun, 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 Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 320°. It leaves at 23:59, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 162.9° + 321.9° = 484.8°, one full turn and 124.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 18:33, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 11:01, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 21:10.

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

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 183.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1974; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1839.
