Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 21 Nov 1963

The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 16:21 on Thu 21 Nov to 17:31 on Fri 22 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Thu 21 Nov, at 19:28. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.

Vivah Panchami follows the tithi at sunrise. Panchami runs from 14:37 on Wed 20 Nov to 16:21 on Thu 21 Nov, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 21 Nov, at 06:28. No text giving Vivah Panchami’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:28 here. Chaturthi ended at 14:37 Wed, before it. Panchami ends at 16:21, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 20 Nov ran from sunset 19:28 Wed to sunrise 06:28, 11 h 0 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:28 to 19:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:28 to 06:28 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 270°. It leaves at 01:20 Fri, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 215° + 270.3° = 485.3°, one full turn and 125.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 21:01, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 03:33, when the lead reached 54°; Balava runs until 16:21.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:28 to 06:28 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov and Dhanu on 15 Dec, both inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika 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 234.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2020; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1885.
