Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 26 Oct 1963

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, 06:37 here. Ashtami ended at 03:38, before it. Navami ends at 03:37 Sun, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Fri 25 Oct ran from sunset 19:16 Fri to sunrise 06:37, 11 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:37 to 19:16, 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 night here, 19:16 to 06:36 Sun, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 283°20′. It leaves at 19:35, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 188.9° + 286.3° = 475.2°, one full turn and 115.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 14:55, then Ganda.

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 15:44, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 03:37 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:37 to 06:36 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Oct 09:42 Thu to 16 Nov 04:50 Sat the Sun stayed in Tula, entering Vrishchika at 16 Nov 08:39 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Kartika, before Kartika 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 17 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Kartika (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1963, 09:09 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 208.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2020; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1885.
