Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 2 Aug 1977

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 02:05 on Tue 2 Aug to 01:33 on Wed 3 Aug, so it holds moonrise only on Tue 2 Aug, at 21:11. 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, 06:38 here. Tritiya ended at 02:05, before it. Chaturthi ends at 01:33 Wed, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Mon 1 Aug ran from sunset 17:59 Mon to sunrise 06:38, 12 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:38 to 17:59, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:59 to 06:38 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 22:09, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 106.4° + 324.8° = 431.2°, one full turn and 71.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 21:29, then Sukarma.

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 13:43, when the lead reaches 222°; Balava until 01:33 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:38 to 06:38 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 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 14 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 130.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2034; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1899.
