Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 16 Nov 2004

The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 21:16 on Tue 16 Nov to 18:45 on Wed 17 Nov, between the two evenings’ sunset, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Tue 16 Nov. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.

Chhath: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:28 here. Chaturthi ended at 00:08, before it. Panchami ends at 21:16, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:44, came before Chaturthi ended at 07:38: this day reads Chaturthi. Panchami ends at 04:46 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Panchami: it is kshaya.

The night of Mon 15 Nov ran from sunset 19:26 Mon to sunrise 06:28, 11 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:28 to 19:26, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:26 to 06:28 Wed, 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′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 260°. It leaves at 14:05, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 210.4° + 262° = 472.4°, one full turn and 112.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 18:06, then Ganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 10:40, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 21:16.

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

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 15 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 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 12 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: 20 Mar 2004, 19:41 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 233.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2061; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1926.
