Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 4 May 1934

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:26 here. Panchami ended at 21:17 Thu, before it. Shashthi ends at 18:53, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:38, came before Panchami ended at 05:47: this day reads Panchami. Shashthi ends at 03:23 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Shashthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:26, came after Panchami ended at 21:17 Thu: this day reads Shashthi.

The night of Thu 3 May ran from sunset 17:52 Thu to sunrise 06:26, 12 h 34 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:26 to 17:52, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:52 to 06:26 Sat, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 263°20′. It leaves at 08:36, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 20.3° + 265.4° = 285.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 18:31, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 08:03, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 18:53.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:26 to 06:26 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 13 Apr 20:56 Fri to 13 May 09:30 Sun the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 14 May 07:45 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 13 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) here, and Vaishakha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 1934, 09:08 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 49° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1991; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1856.
