Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 10 Aug 1958

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:35 here. Navami ended at 05:35 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 06:36, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 05:35 Sat, before sunrise at 06:35 Sat, and ends at 06:36, after the next sunrise at 06:35. Both days read Dashami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 9 Aug ran from sunset 18:01 Sat to sunrise 06:35, 12 h 34 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:35 to 18:01, 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, 18:01 to 06:34 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 53°20′. It leaves at 06:19 Mon, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 114° + 54° = 168°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 16:03, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 18:11 Sat, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 06:36.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:35 to 06:34 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 138° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2015; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1880.
