Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 28 Feb 1983

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:11 here. Pratipada ended at 02:49, before it. Dwitiya ends at 00:04 Tue, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 27 Feb ran from sunset 18:39 Sun to sunrise 06:11, 11 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:11 to 18:39, 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, 18:39 to 06:11 Tue, 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 1 at 146°40′. It leaves at 23:30, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 315.6° + 149.5° = 465.1°, one full turn and 105.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 08:34, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 13:23, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 00:04 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:11 to 06:11 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 12 Feb 21:31 Sat to 14 Mar 14:43 Mon the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 15:44 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna 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 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) here, and Phalguna (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 334.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
