Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 6 Oct 1917

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:51 here. Shashthi ended at 05:45, before it. Saptami ends at 06:32 Sun, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 05:45, before sunrise at 05:51, and ends at 06:32 Sun, after the next sunrise at 05:50 Sun. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 5 Oct ran from sunset 18:10 Fri to sunrise 05:51, 11 h 41 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:51 to 18:11, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:11 to 05:50 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 60°. It leaves at 14:55, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 169.8° + 61.9° = 231.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 20:28, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 18:03, when the lead reaches 258°; Bava until 06:32 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:51 to 05:50 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 15 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 190.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1974; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1839.
