Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 11 Mar 1968

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:14 here. Ekadashi ended at 22:05 Sun, before it. Dwadashi ends at 21:29, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 28 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:35, came before Ekadashi ended at 06:35: this day reads Ekadashi. Dwadashi ends at 05:59 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:14, came after Ekadashi ended at 22:05 Sun: this day reads Dwadashi.

The night of Sun 10 Mar ran from sunset 18:31 Sun to sunrise 06:14, 11 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:14 to 18:30, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:30 to 06:14 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 103°20′. It leaves at 11:47, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 327.5° + 103.6° = 431.1°, one full turn and 71.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 21:10, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 09:53, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 21:29.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:14 to 06:14 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 13 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 28 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 28 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 1967, 19:20 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 331.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2024; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1889.
