Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 20 Feb 1936

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 21:52 on Thu 20 Feb to 19:00 on Fri 21 Feb, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (00:04 Fri–00:49 Fri) falls within it.

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 00:08 on Thu 20 Feb to 21:52 on Thu 20 Feb, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:44–21:01) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:08 here. Dwadashi ended at 00:08, before it. Trayodashi ends at 21:52, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 7 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:56, came before Dwadashi ended at 08:38: this day reads Dwadashi. Trayodashi ends at 06:22 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Trayodashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Wed 19 Feb ran from sunset 18:45 Wed to sunrise 06:08, 11 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:08 to 18:44, 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 night here, 18:44 to 06:09 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 273°20′. It leaves at 14:45, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 307.6° + 274.9° = 582.5°, one full turn and 222.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 12:44, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 11:05, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 21:52.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:08 to 06:09 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 22 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 22 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 1935, 09:10 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 317.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1992; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1857.
