Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 7 Mar 1932

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:13 here. Amavasya ended at 05:44, before it. Pratipada ends at 07:50 Tue, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 05:44, before sunrise at 07:13, and ends at 07:50 Tue, after the next sunrise at 07:13 Tue. Both days read Pratipada: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 6 Mar ran from sunset 19:34 Sun to sunrise 07:13, 11 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:13 to 19:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:33 to 07:13 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 01:03 Tue, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 323.7° + 324.4° = 648.1°, one full turn and 288.1°. 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 16:53, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 18:44, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 07:50 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:13 to 07:13 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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 13 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 5 Apr, 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 7 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 1931, 04:50 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 348.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1988; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1853.
