Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 16 Oct 2028

The abhyanga bath is taken in arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. Chaturdashi runs from 07:15 on Mon 16 Oct to 03:35 on Tue 17 Oct, between the two mornings’ arunodaya, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Mon 16 Oct. No text giving Narak Chaturdashi’s time was found; arunodaya is Tithika’s convention.

Narak Chaturdashi: every date in Ipameri

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 07:15 on Mon 16 Oct to 03:35 on Tue 17 Oct, so only Monday night’s nishitha (23:35–00:20 Tue) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

Masik Shivratri: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:42 here. Dwadashi ended at 10:47 Sun, before it. Trayodashi ends at 07:15, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 07:15 and ended at 03:35 Tue, between the sunrises of 05:42 and 05:42 Tue. Monday reads Trayodashi and Tuesday reads Amavasya: Chaturdashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 15 Oct ran from sunset 18:13 Sun to sunrise 05:42, 11 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:42 to 18:13, 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 night here, 18:13 to 05:42 Tue, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 153°20′. It leaves at 14:41, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 179.3° + 154.3° = 333.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 01:08 Tue, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 21:03 Sun, when the lead reached 330°; Vanija runs until 07:15.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:42 to 05:42 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 16 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Oct, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 17 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 26 Mar 2028, 01:31 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 197.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
