Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 15 Oct 1982

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:44 here. Trayodashi ended at 22:45 Thu, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 21:41, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:21, came before Trayodashi ended at 07:15: this day reads Trayodashi. Chaturdashi ends at 06:11 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturdashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:44, came after Trayodashi ended at 22:45 Thu: this day reads Chaturdashi.

The night of Thu 14 Oct ran from sunset 18:12 Thu to sunrise 05:44, 11 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:44 to 18:13, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:13 to 05:43 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 156°40′. It leaves at 09:45, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 178.1° + 157.7° = 335.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 23:45, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti runs until 10:10, when the lead reaches 342°; Shakuni until 21:41.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:44 to 05:43 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 17 Sep 09:09 Fri to 16 Oct 21:04 Sat the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 04:46 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1982, 07:17 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 197.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
