Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 15 Feb 1984

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:06 here. Trayodashi ended at 05:05, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 01:31 Thu, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 1 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Tue 14 Feb ran from sunset 18:47 Tue to sunrise 06:06, 11 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:06 to 18:47, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:47 to 06:07 Thu, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 96°40′. It leaves at 18:35, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 302.2° + 98.8° = 401°, one full turn and 41°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 00:22 Thu, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 15:21, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 01:31 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:06 to 06:07 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 2 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 1 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 13 Apr 1983, 04:58 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 303° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2040; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1905.
