Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 23 Nov 1987

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:28 here. Dwitiya ended at 23:57 Sun, before it. Tritiya ends at 21:19, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 21 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:49, came before Dwitiya ended at 07:27: this day reads Dwitiya. Tritiya ends at 04:49 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Tritiya: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:28, came after Dwitiya ended at 23:57 Sun: this day reads Tritiya.

The night of Sun 22 Nov ran from sunset 19:29 Sun to sunrise 06:28, 10 h 59 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:28 to 19:30, 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, 19:30 to 06:28 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 243°20′. It leaves at 21:08, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 216.8° + 244.5° = 461.3°, one full turn and 101.3°. 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 14:48, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 10:39, when the lead reaches 30°; Garaja until 21:19.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:28 to 06:28 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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 21 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 1987, 09:45 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 232.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2044; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1909.
