Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 31 May 1999

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:36 here. Pratipada ended at 05:59, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:10 Tue, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 05:59, before sunrise at 06:36, and ends at 08:10 Tue, after the next sunrise at 06:36 Tue. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 30 May ran from sunset 17:44 Sun to sunrise 06:36, 12 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:36 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 06:36 Tue, 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 4 at 236°40′. It leaves at 10:43, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 45.7° + 237.9° = 283.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 00:40 Tue, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 19:05, when the lead reaches 198°; Garaja until 08:10 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:36 to 06:36 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 May 09:05 Sat to 13 Jun 16:02 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 06:08 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 13 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 1999, 15:47 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 72.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2056; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1921.
