Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 13 Mar 1926

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 03:52 on Sat 13 Mar to 00:20 on Sun 14 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 13 Mar, at 06:15. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:15 here. Chaturdashi ended at 03:52, before it. Amavasya ends at 00:20 Sun, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 12 Mar ran from sunset 18:30 Fri to sunrise 06:15, 11 h 45 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 18:29, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:29 to 06:15 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 08:26, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 329.2° + 318.6° = 647.8°, one full turn and 287.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 14:26, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 14:05, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 00:20 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:15 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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 14 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) here, and Phalguna (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 348.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1982; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1847.
