Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 27 Nov 1993

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, 06:28 here. Trayodashi ended at 01:02, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 02:59 Sun, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Fri 26 Nov ran from sunset 19:32 Fri to sunrise 06:28, 10 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:28 to 19:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:32 to 06:28 Sun, 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 16°40′. It leaves at 20:01, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 221.3° + 19.8° = 241.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 04:40 Sun, then Shiva.

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 14:03, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 02:59 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:28 to 06:28 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 13 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

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 242.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2050; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1915.
