Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 22 Mar 1935

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:16 here. Dwitiya ended at 05:43, before it. Tritiya ends at 06:44 Sat, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 20 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 05:43, before sunrise at 06:16, and ends at 06:44 Sat, after the next sunrise at 06:17 Sat. Both days read Tritiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 21 Mar ran from sunset 18:23 Thu to sunrise 06:16, 11 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:16 to 18:22, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:22 to 06:17 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 180°. It leaves at 15:00, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 337.9° + 182.1° = 520°, one full turn and 160°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 05:58 Sat, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 18:16, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 06:44 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:16 to 06:17 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 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 3 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna 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 366.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1991; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1856.
