Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 1 Sep 1993

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:19 here. Purnima ended at 23:32 Tue, before it. Pratipada ends at 01:41 Thu, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Tue 31 Aug ran from sunset 18:05 Tue to sunrise 06:19, 12 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:19 to 18:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:05 to 06:19 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 09:43, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 135.2° + 318.3° = 453.5°, one full turn and 93.5°. 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 06:48 Thu, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 12:35, when the lead reaches 186°; Kaulava until 01:41 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:19 to 06:19 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Aug 16:28 Tue to 16 Sep 00:10 Thu the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 16 Sep 12:28 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) here, and Bhadrapada (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 1993, 04:14 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 156.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2050; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1915.
