Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 4 Mar 1951

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:12 here. Ekadashi ended at 01:14, before it. Dwadashi ends at 23:12, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 21 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:44, came before Ekadashi ended at 08:44: this day reads Ekadashi. Dwadashi ends at 06:42 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:12, came after Ekadashi ended at 01:14: this day reads Dwadashi.

The night of Sat 3 Mar ran from sunset 19:37 Sat to sunrise 07:12, 11 h 35 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:12 to 19:36, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:36 to 07:12 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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 15:34, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 319.8° + 275.1° = 594.9°, one full turn and 234.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 15:19, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 12:12, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 23:12.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:12 to 07:12 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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, 7 Mar, 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 7 Mar, 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: 18 Mar 1950, 13:20 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 345.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2007; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1872.
