Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 26 Mar 1964

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:17 here. Trayodashi ended at 23:32 Wed, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 23:27, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Wed 25 Mar ran from sunset 18:19 Wed to sunrise 06:17, 11 h 58 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:17 to 18:18, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:18 to 06:18 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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 Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 140°. It leaves at 15:15, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 342.4° + 141.8° = 484.2°, one full turn and 124.2°. 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 21:57, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 11:27, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 23:27.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:17 to 06:18 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 13 Mar 23:13 Fri to 12 Apr 09:37 Sun the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 03:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 13 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 13 Mar 1964, 23:13 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 12.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2021; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1886.
