Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 29 Mar 1930

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 01:52 on Sat 29 Mar to 02:46 on Sun 30 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 29 Mar, at 06:18. 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, 06:18 here. Chaturdashi ended at 01:52, before it. Amavasya ends at 02:46 Sun, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 28 Mar ran from sunset 18:17 Fri to sunrise 06:18, 12 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:18 to 18:16, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:16 to 06:18 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 333°20′. It leaves at 04:10 Sun, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 345.1° + 335.2° = 680.3°, one full turn and 320.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 05:23 Sun, then Indra.

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 14:22, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 02:46 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:18 to 06:18 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 30 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 30 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 1929, 17:32 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 348.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1986; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1851.
