Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 28 Mar 2029

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:18 here. Dwadashi ended at 10:23 Tue, before it. Trayodashi ends at 07:05, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 07:05 and ended at 03:22 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:18 and 06:18 Thu. Wednesday reads Trayodashi and Thursday reads Purnima: Chaturdashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 27 Mar ran from sunset 18:17 Tue to sunrise 06:18, 12 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:18 to 18:16, 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, 18:16 to 06:18 Thu, 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 136°40′. It leaves at 18:03, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 343.7° + 139.3° = 483°, one full turn and 123°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 21:43, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 20:47 Tue, when the lead reached 150°; Taitila runs until 07:05.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:18 to 06:18 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 01:19 Thu to 13 Apr 18:40 Fri the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 19:24 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 15 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 01:19 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 13.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
