Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 14 Feb 1926

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:06 here. Pratipada ended at 10:34 Sat, before it. Dwitiya ends at 07:00, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 07:00 and ended at 03:47 Mon, between the sunrises of 06:06 and 06:06 Mon. Sunday reads Dwitiya and Monday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 13 Feb ran from sunset 18:48 Sat to sunrise 06:06, 11 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:06 to 18:47, 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 night here, 18:47 to 06:06 Mon, 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 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 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 18:33, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 302.1° + 325.6° = 627.7°, one full turn and 267.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 00:40 Mon, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 20:45 Sat, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 07:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:06 to 06:06 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 12 Feb 14:20 Fri to 14 Mar 00:20 Sun the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 00:53 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna 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 12 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 1925, 11:02 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 321.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1982; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1847.
