Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 4 Jun 1988

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 228°–240° is the 20th, Krishna Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:37 here. Chaturthi ended at 23:23 Fri, before it. Panchami ends at 20:59, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Fri 3 Jun ran from sunset 17:44 Fri to sunrise 06:37, 12 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:37 to 17:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:44 to 06:37 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 280°. It leaves at 01:09 Sun, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 50.3° + 282.3° = 332.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 07:48, then Indra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 10:11, when the lead reaches 234°; Taitila until 20:59.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:37 to 06:37 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 May 19:10 Sun to 14 Jun 06:13 Tue the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 14 Jun 10:30 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1988, 23:02 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 76.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2045; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1910.
