Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 29 Jun 1996

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:43 here. Dwadashi ended at 10:54 Fri, before it. Trayodashi ends at 08:02, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 08:02 and ended at 04:40 Sun, between the sunrises of 06:43 and 06:43 Sun. Saturday reads Trayodashi and Sunday reads Purnima: Chaturdashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 28 Jun ran from sunset 17:48 Fri to sunrise 06:43, 12 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:43 to 17:48, 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, 17:48 to 06:43 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 226°40′. It leaves at 23:54, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 74.1° + 229.4° = 303.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 11:36, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 21:33 Fri, when the lead reached 150°; Taitila runs until 08:02.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:43 to 06:43 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 Jun 22:35 Sat to 15 Jul 13:14 Mon the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 15 Jul 22:40 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 15 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 1996, 07:44 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 98.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2053; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1918.
