Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 12 Nov 1963

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:30 here. Ekadashi ended at 19:38 Mon, before it. Dwadashi ends at 21:35, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 11 Nov ran from sunset 19:23 Mon to sunrise 06:30, 11 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:30 to 19:24, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:24 to 06:29 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 160°. It leaves at 03:13 Wed, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 205.9° + 162.9° = 368.8°, one full turn and 8.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 14:48, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 08:34, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 21:35.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:30 to 06:29 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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 16 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika (Adhik) here, and Kartika (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 225.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2020; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1885.
