Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 11 Nov 1934

The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 16:45 on Sun 11 Nov to 14:40 on Mon 12 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Sun 11 Nov, at 18:23. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.

Chhath: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:30 here. Chaturthi ended at 18:50 Sat, before it. Panchami ends at 16:45, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 10 Nov ran from sunset 18:23 Sat to sunrise 05:30, 11 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:30 to 18:23, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:23 to 05:30 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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 2 at 256°40′. It leaves at 18:14, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 205.3° + 259.2° = 464.5°, one full turn and 104.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 08:58, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 05:47, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 16:45.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:30 to 05:30 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 15 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

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 234° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1991; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1856.
