Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 1 Aug 1921

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 04:19 on Mon 1 Aug to 00:56 on Tue 2 Aug, so only Monday’s pradosha (17:58–20:30) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Ipameri

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 00:56 on Tue 2 Aug to 21:12 on Tue 2 Aug, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Mon 1 Aug. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:39 here. Dwadashi ended at 04:19, before it. Trayodashi ends at 00:56 Tue, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 19 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 31 Jul ran from sunset 17:58 Sun to sunrise 06:39, 12 h 41 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:39 to 17:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:58 to 06:38 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 70°. It leaves at 20:54, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 105.8° + 71.1° = 176.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 21:20, then Vajra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 14:41, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 00:56 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:39 to 06:38 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 15 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 3 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 1921, 06:04 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 110.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1978; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1843.
