Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 1 Aug 1939

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:39 here. Pratipada ended at 05:53, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:18 Wed, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 05:53, before sunrise at 06:39, and ends at 08:18 Wed, after the next sunrise at 06:39 Wed. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 31 Jul ran from sunset 17:58 Mon to sunrise 06:39, 12 h 41 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:39 to 17:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:58 to 06:39 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 296°40′. It leaves at 01:02 Wed, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 105.2° + 297.6° = 402.8°, one full turn and 42.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 02:22 Wed, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 19:05, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 08:18 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:39 to 06:39 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 16 Jul 18:02 Sun to 15 Aug 00:53 Tue the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 16:26 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 15 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 1939, 22:49 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 128.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1996; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1861.
