Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 22 Jul 1977

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:42 here. Shashthi ended at 06:42, before it. Saptami ends at 05:26 Sat, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Thu 21 Jul ran from sunset 17:55 Thu to sunrise 06:42, 12 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:42 to 17:56, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 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 06:42 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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 16:17, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 95.9° + 167.9° = 263.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 11:22, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 18:07, when the lead reaches 78°; Vanija until 05:26 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:42 to 06:42 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jul 05:36 Sat to 14 Aug 18:31 Sun the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 10:07 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 16 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 1977, 15:32 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 120.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2034; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1899.
