Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 9 Jun 2023

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, 06:39 here. Panchami ended at 10:29 Thu, before it. Shashthi ends at 07:51, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 4 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 07:51 and ended at 05:32 Sat, between the sunrises of 06:39 and 06:39 Sat. Friday reads Shashthi and Saturday reads Ashtami: Saptami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 8 Jun ran from sunset 17:44 Thu to sunrise 06:39, 12 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:39 to 17:44, 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, 17:44 to 06:39 Sat, 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 303°20′. It leaves at 08:39, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 54.1° + 305.5° = 359.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 07:15, then Vishkambha.

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 ended at 21:08 Thu, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 07:51.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:39 to 06:39 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 18 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 14:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 77.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
