Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 19 Feb 1966

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya holds both sunrises, 07:08 on Sat 19 Feb and 07:08 on Sun 20 Feb. Over two sunrises the Nirnayasindhu takes the first: Sat 19 Feb. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:08 here. Chaturdashi ended at 06:17, before it. Amavasya ends at 08:48 Sun, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 5 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 06:17, before sunrise at 07:08, and ends at 08:48 Sun, after the next sunrise at 07:08 Sun. Both days read Amavasya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 18 Feb ran from sunset 19:45 Fri to sunrise 07:08, 11 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:08 to 19:44, 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, 19:44 to 07:08 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 06:10 Sun, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 306.9° + 295.3° = 602.2°, one full turn and 242.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 03:57 Sun, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 19:33, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 08:48 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:08 to 07:08 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 20 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 1 Apr 1965, 21:20 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 318.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2022; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1887.
