Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 17 Dec 1930

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 23:02 on Tue 16 Dec to 22:27 on Wed 17 Dec, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:44–20:54) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 22:27 on Wed 17 Dec to 22:13 on Thu 18 Dec, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:47–00:30 Thu) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:33 here. Dwadashi ended at 23:02 Tue, before it. Trayodashi ends at 22:27, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 5 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Sunrise here, 07:07, came before Dwadashi ended at 07:32: this day reads Dwadashi. Trayodashi ends at 06:57 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Trayodashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:33, came after Dwadashi ended at 23:02 Tue: this day reads Trayodashi.

The night of Tue 16 Dec ran from sunset 18:43 Tue to sunrise 05:33, 10 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:33 to 18:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:44 to 05:33 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 206°40′. It leaves at 13:04, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 241.8° + 209.2° = 451°, one full turn and 91°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 09:31, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 10:42, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 22:27.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:33 to 05:33 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 19 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, begins Pausha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Pausha here, and Margashirsha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 1930, 02:46 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 255.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1987; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1852.
