Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 2 Apr 2021

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:19 here. Panchami ended at 23:45 Thu, before it. Shashthi ends at 21:29, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:10, came before Panchami ended at 08:15: this day reads Panchami. Shashthi ends at 05:59 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Shashthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:19, came after Panchami ended at 23:45 Thu: this day reads Shashthi.

The night of Thu 1 Apr ran from sunset 18:13 Thu to sunrise 06:19, 12 h 6 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:19 to 18:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:12 to 06:19 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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 2 at 230°. It leaves at 19:13, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 348.7° + 232.4° = 581.1°, one full turn and 221.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 15:09, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 10:33, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 21:29.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:19 to 06:19 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 11 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna 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 368.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
