Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 11 Apr 1945

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:21 here. Trayodashi ended at 17:13 Tue, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 13:25, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 10 Apr ran from sunset 18:07 Tue to sunrise 06:21, 12 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:21 to 18:06, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:06 to 06:21 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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 Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 340°. It leaves at 13:58, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 358° + 341.8° = 699.8°, one full turn and 339.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 16:24, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti ended at 03:21, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 13:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:21 to 06:21 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Mar 00:50 Wed to 12 Apr 09:29 Thu the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 06:29 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 12 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 14 Mar 1945, 00:50 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 27.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2002; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1867.
