Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 4 Aug 1947

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, 06:38 here. Dwitiya ended at 02:42, before it. Tritiya ends at 04:11 Tue, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Sun 3 Aug ran from sunset 17:59 Sun to sunrise 06:38, 12 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:38 to 17:59, 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 night here, 17:59 to 06:37 Tue, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 313°20′. It leaves at 18:37, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 108° + 313.9° = 421.9°, one full turn and 61.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 15:15, then Atiganda.

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 15:29, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 04:11 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:38 to 06:37 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 01:15 Fri to 16 Aug 08:12 Sat the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 17:42 Sat, 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 16 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: 22 Mar 1947, 13:34 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 129.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2004; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1869.
