Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 15 Aug 2023

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya holds both sunrises, 06:32 on Tue 15 Aug and 06:31 on Wed 16 Aug. Over two sunrises the Nirnayasindhu takes the first: Tue 15 Aug. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:32 here. Chaturdashi ended at 04:13, before it. Amavasya ends at 06:38 Wed, when the lead reaches 360°. 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. Amavasya began at 04:13, before sunrise at 06:32, and ends at 06:38 Wed, after the next sunrise at 06:31 Wed. Both days read Amavasya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 14 Aug ran from sunset 18:02 Mon to sunrise 06:32, 12 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:32 to 18:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:02 to 06:31 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 106°40′. It leaves at 08:27 Wed, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 118.1° + 107.2° = 225.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 09:02, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 17:25, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 06:38 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:32 to 06:31 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 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 141.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
