Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 26 Jul 1952

Nag Panchami follows the tithi at sunrise. Panchami holds both sunrises, 06:41 on Sat 26 Jul and 06:41 on Sun 27 Jul. Over two sunrises the Nirnayasindhu takes the first: Sat 26 Jul. No text giving Nag Panchami’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Nag Panchami: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:41 here. Chaturthi ended at 06:33, before it. Panchami ends at 08:31 Sun, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 21 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Panchami began at 06:33, before sunrise at 06:41, and ends at 08:31 Sun, after the next sunrise at 06:41 Sun. Both days read Panchami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 25 Jul ran from sunset 17:56 Fri to sunrise 06:41, 12 h 45 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:41 to 17:57, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:57 to 06:41 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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 Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 146°40′. It leaves at 06:14 Sun, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 100.1° + 148.2° = 248.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 15:59, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 19:36, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 08:31 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:41 to 06:41 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 21 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1952, 18:12 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 118.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2009; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1874.
