Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 12 Jul 2020

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:44 here. Shashthi ended at 05:03 Sat, before it. Saptami ends at 07:18, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 5 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 05:03 Sat, before sunrise at 06:44 Sat, and ends at 07:18, after the next sunrise at 06:44. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 11 Jul ran from sunset 17:52 Sat to sunrise 06:44, 12 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:44 to 17:53, 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, 17:53 to 06:44 Mon, 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 350°. It leaves at 02:43 Mon, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 86.4° + 350.1° = 436.5°, one full turn and 76.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 13:20, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 18:09 Sat, when the lead reached 258°; Bava runs until 07:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:44 to 06:44 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Jul, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 20 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2020, 06:28 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 106.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
