Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 18 Nov 1943

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:28 here. Shashthi ended at 03:41, before it. Saptami ends at 06:21 Fri, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 11 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 03:41, before sunrise at 05:28, and ends at 06:21 Fri, after the next sunrise at 05:28 Fri. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 17 Nov ran from sunset 18:26 Wed to sunrise 05:28, 11 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:28 to 18:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:27 to 05:28 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 103°20′. It leaves at 09:08, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 212.1° + 104.9° = 317°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 11:14, then Brahma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 17:00, when the lead reaches 258°; Bava until 06:21 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:28 to 05:28 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Nov, 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 27 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 4 Apr 1943, 18:52 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 220.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2000; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1865.
