Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 6 Aug 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, 06:37 here. Panchami ended at 22:40 Sat, before it. Shashthi ends at 20:50, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:45, came before Panchami ended at 07:10: this day reads Panchami. Shashthi ends at 05:20 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Shashthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:37, came after Panchami ended at 22:40 Sat: this day reads Shashthi.

The night of Sat 5 Aug ran from sunset 18:00 Sat to sunrise 06:37, 12 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:37 to 18:00, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:00 to 06:36 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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 3 at 353°20′. It leaves at 17:13, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 109.5° + 353.9° = 463.4°, one full turn and 103.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 11:56, then Shula.

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 09:40, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 20:50.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:37 to 06:36 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 15:31 Mon to 16 Aug 06:38 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 05:02 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 16 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) 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 132.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
