Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 26 Apr 1972

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, 06:24 here. Trayodashi ended at 05:00, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 07:20 Thu, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 05:00, before sunrise at 06:24, and ends at 07:20 Thu, after the next sunrise at 06:24 Thu. Both days read Chaturdashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 25 Apr ran from sunset 17:56 Tue to sunrise 06:24, 12 h 28 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 17:56, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:56 to 06:24 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 166°40′. It leaves at 14:18, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 12.8° + 169.4° = 182.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 14:45, then Vajra.

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 18:09, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 07:20 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:24 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 13 Apr 17:30 Thu to 13 May 01:08 Sat the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 14 May 01:26 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 13 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 1972, 08:34 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 41.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2029; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1894.
