Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 24 Jul 1958

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:42 here. Ashtami ended at 22:18 Wed, before it. Navami ends at 20:22, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:37, came before Ashtami ended at 06:48: this day reads Ashtami. Navami ends at 04:52 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Navami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:42, came after Ashtami ended at 22:18 Wed: this day reads Navami.

The night of Wed 23 Jul ran from sunset 17:56 Wed to sunrise 06:42, 12 h 46 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:42 to 17:56, 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, 17:56 to 06:41 Fri, 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 196°40′. It leaves at 09:38, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 97.7° + 198.3° = 296°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 23:51, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 09:18, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 20:22.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:42 to 06:41 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jul 15:33 Wed to 15 Aug 00:33 Fri the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 13:17 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 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 1958, 06:49 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 121.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2015; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1880.
