Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 27 Nov 1955

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 23:11 on Sat 26 Nov to 20:29 on Sun 27 Nov, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (18:32–20:43). No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:28 here. Dwadashi ended at 23:11 Sat, before it. Trayodashi ends at 20:29, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:52, came before Dwadashi ended at 07:41: this day reads Dwadashi. Trayodashi ends at 04:59 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Trayodashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Sat 26 Nov ran from sunset 18:31 Sat to sunrise 05:28, 10 h 57 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:28 to 18:32, 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, 18:32 to 05:28 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 6°40′. It leaves at 13:19, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 221.1° + 8.6° = 229.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 21:23, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 09:54, when the lead reaches 150°; Taitila until 20:29.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:28 to 05:28 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 14 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 14 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 1955, 00:42 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 241.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2012; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1877.
