Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 8 May 1934

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:27 here. Navami ended at 13:03 Mon, before it. Dashami ends at 11:39, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 7 May ran from sunset 17:50 Mon to sunrise 06:27, 12 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:27 to 17:50, 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, 17:50 to 06:28 Wed, 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 Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 320°. It leaves at 03:31 Wed, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 24.2° + 321.4° = 345.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 08:17, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 00:19, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 11:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:27 to 06:28 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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 52.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1991; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1856.
