Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 1 Jul 1969

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:43 here. Pratipada ended at 13:06 Mon, before it. Dwitiya ends at 09:19, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 09:19 and ended at 05:53 Wed, between the sunrises of 06:43 and 06:44 Wed. Tuesday reads Dwitiya and Wednesday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 30 Jun ran from sunset 17:48 Mon to sunrise 06:43, 12 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:43 to 17:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:49 to 06:44 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 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 4 at 276°40′. It leaves at 09:15, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 75.9° + 278.4° = 354.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 15:12, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 23:10 Mon, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 09:19.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:43 to 06:44 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Jun 20:08 Sat to 14 Jul 11:11 Mon the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 00:40 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 14 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 1969, 01:51 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 101.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2026; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1891.
