Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 8 Feb 2001

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, 07:03 here. Purnima ended at 05:11, before it. Pratipada ends at 01:26 Fri, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 8 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Wed 7 Feb ran from sunset 19:50 Wed to sunrise 07:03, 11 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:03 to 19:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:49 to 07:04 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 116°40′. It leaves at 11:55, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 295.8° + 116.9° = 412.7°, one full turn and 52.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 07:59, then Shobhana.

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 15:18, when the lead reaches 186°; Kaulava until 01:26 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:03 to 07:04 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 23 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 4 Apr 2000, 15:12 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 304.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2057; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1922.
