Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 29 Jan 1920

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, 05:58 here. Ashtami ended at 23:45 Wed, before it. Navami ends at 21:45, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 21 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 07:11, came before Ashtami ended at 08:15: this day reads Ashtami. Navami ends at 06:15 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Navami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:58, came after Ashtami ended at 23:45 Wed: this day reads Navami.

The night of Wed 28 Jan ran from sunset 18:53 Wed to sunrise 05:58, 11 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:58 to 18:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:53 to 05:58 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 23°20′. It leaves at 09:09, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 285.4° + 24.8° = 310.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 21:27, then Brahma.

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 runs until 10:48, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 21:45.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:58 to 05:58 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 21 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 31 Mar 1919, 18:04 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 298° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1976; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1841.
