Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 4 Sep 1993

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 06:32 on Sat 4 Sep to 09:02 on Sun 5 Sep, so it holds moonrise only on Sat 4 Sep, at 21:00. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:17 here. Dwitiya ended at 04:02 Fri, before it. Tritiya ends at 06:32, when the lead reaches 216°. 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. Tritiya began at 04:02 Fri, before sunrise at 06:18 Fri, and ends at 06:32, after the next sunrise at 06:17. Both days read Tritiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 3 Sep ran from sunset 18:06 Fri to sunrise 06:17, 12 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:17 to 18:06, 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, 18:06 to 06:16 Sun, 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 353°20′. It leaves at 18:31, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 138.1° + 354° = 492.1°, one full turn and 132.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 08:41, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 17:16 Fri, when the lead reached 210°; Vishti runs until 06:32.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:17 to 06:16 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 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 159.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2050; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1915.
