Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 15 Apr 1980

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:22 here. Amavasya ended at 00:46, before it. Pratipada ends at 21:11, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:55, came before Amavasya ended at 09:16: this day reads Amavasya. Pratipada ends at 05:41 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Pratipada: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:22, came after Amavasya ended at 00:46: this day reads Pratipada.

The night of Mon 14 Apr ran from sunset 18:03 Mon to sunrise 06:22, 12 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:22 to 18:03, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:03 to 06:22 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 3°20′. It leaves at 19:11, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 2° + 5.3° = 7.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 15:26, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 10:57, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 21:11.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:22 to 06:22 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 14 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 15 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 1980, 15:55 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 29.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2037; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1902.
