Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 21 Feb 1926

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:09 here. Navami ended at 23:09 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 01:01 Mon, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 20 Feb ran from sunset 18:44 Sat to sunrise 06:09, 11 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 18:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:43 to 06:09 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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 18:26, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 309.2° + 60.4° = 369.6°, one full turn and 9.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 12:54, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 12:01, when the lead reaches 114°; Garaja until 01:01 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:09 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 328.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1982; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1847.
