Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 23 Feb 1926

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:09 here. Ekadashi ended at 03:21, before it. Dwadashi ends at 05:58 Wed, when the lead reaches 144°. 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.

The night of Mon 22 Feb ran from sunset 18:43 Mon to sunrise 06:09, 11 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 18:42, 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, 18:42 to 06:10 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 83°20′. It leaves at 00:10 Wed, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 311.2° + 84.5° = 395.7°, one full turn and 35.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 14:17, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 16:38, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 05:58 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:10 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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 330.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1982; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1847.
