Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 17 Nov 1980

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:28 here. Navami ended at 22:36 Sun, before it. Dashami ends at 20:21, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:45, came before Navami ended at 07:06: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 04:51 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:28, came after Navami ended at 22:36 Sun: this day reads Dashami.

The night of Sun 16 Nov ran from sunset 18:26 Sun to sunrise 05:28, 11 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:28 to 18:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:27 to 05:28 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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 1 at 320°. It leaves at 22:15, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 211.6° + 323.3° = 534.9°, one full turn and 174.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 23:54, then Vajra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 09:33, when the lead reaches 114°; Garaja until 20:21.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:28 to 05:28 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 15 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 7 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika 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 238.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2037; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1902.
