Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 2 Jul 1969

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 05:53 on Wed 2 Jul to 02:58 on Thu 3 Jul, so it holds moonrise only on Wed 2 Jul, at 21:04. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:44 here. Tritiya ended at 05:53, before it. Chaturthi ends at 02:58 Thu, when the lead reaches 228°. 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.

The night of Tue 1 Jul ran from sunset 17:49 Tue to sunrise 06:44, 12 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:44 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 Thu, 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 04:35 Thu, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 76.9° + 293.4° = 370.3°, one full turn and 10.3°. 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 11:25, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 16:21, when the lead reaches 222°; Balava until 02:58 Thu.

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

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 102.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2026; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1891.
