Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 30 Jul 1966

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, 06:40 here. Trayodashi ended at 03:16, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 04:30 Sun, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Fri 29 Jul ran from sunset 17:58 Fri to sunrise 06:40, 12 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:40 to 17:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:58 to 06:39 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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 Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 260°. It leaves at 17:37, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 103.4° + 261° = 364.4°, one full turn and 4.4°. 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 22:44, then Priti.

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 15:51, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 04:30 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:40 to 06:39 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 18 Jul 01:30 Mon to 16 Aug 08:47 Tue the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 14:28 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 18 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 1966, 01:46 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 125.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2023; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1888.
