Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 13 Jan 1952

Lohri’s bonfire is lit on the evening before Makar Sankranti. The Sun enters Makara at 08:05 Mon, and Makar Sankranti is on Mon 14 Jan: Sun 13 Jan. No text giving Lohri’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Lohri: every date in Ipameri

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, 06:48 here. Pratipada ended at 05:33, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:10 Mon, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 05:33, before sunrise at 06:48, and ends at 08:10 Mon, after the next sunrise at 06:48 Mon. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 12 Jan ran from sunset 19:54 Sat to sunrise 06:48, 10 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:48 to 19:54, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:54 to 06:48 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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 3 at 100°. It leaves at 17:19, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 268.9° + 101.5° = 370.4°, one full turn and 10.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 12:15, then Priti.

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 18:53, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 08:10 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:48 to 06:48 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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 26 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 1951, 07:51 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 276.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2008; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1873.
