Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 5 Jan 1974

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 20:10 on Sat 5 Jan to 16:57 on Sun 6 Jan, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:52–21:02). No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Ipameri

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, 05:43 here. Ekadashi ended at 22:55 Fri, before it. Dwadashi ends at 20:10, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 24 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 07:14, came before Ekadashi ended at 07:25: this day reads Ekadashi. Dwadashi ends at 04:40 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:43, came after Ekadashi ended at 22:55 Fri: this day reads Dwadashi.

The night of Fri 4 Jan ran from sunset 18:52 Fri to sunrise 05:43, 10 h 51 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:43 to 18:52, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:52 to 05:44 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 36°40′. It leaves at 10:46, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 261.1° + 36.9° = 298°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 18:54, then Shukla.

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 09:37, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 20:10.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:43 to 05:44 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 13 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 24 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 1973, 08:45 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 271° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2030; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1895.
