Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 3 Aug 1958

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:38 here. Tritiya ended at 16:18 Sat, before it. Chaturthi ends at 18:14, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 2 Aug ran from sunset 17:59 Sat to sunrise 06:38, 12 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:38 to 17:59, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:59 to 06:38 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 326°40′. It leaves at 13:27, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 107.3° + 329.9° = 437.2°, one full turn and 77.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 11:50, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 05:13, when the lead reached 222°; Balava runs until 18:14.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:38 to 06:38 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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 15 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 131.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2015; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1880.
