Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 12 Jun 2018

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:40 here. Trayodashi ended at 23:04 Mon, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 20:04, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:22, came before Trayodashi ended at 07:34: this day reads Trayodashi. Chaturdashi ends at 04:34 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturdashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:40, came after Trayodashi ended at 23:04 Mon: this day reads Chaturdashi.

The night of Mon 11 Jun ran from sunset 17:45 Mon to sunrise 06:40, 12 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:40 to 17:45, 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, 17:45 to 06:40 Wed, 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 36°40′. It leaves at 10:36, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 57.3° + 37.6° = 94.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 00:42 Wed, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti runs until 09:37, when the lead reaches 342°; Shakuni until 20:04.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:40 to 06:40 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 May 08:47 Tue to 13 Jun 16:43 Wed the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 03:06 Fri, 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 2018, 10:11 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 84.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2075; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1940.
