Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 8 Apr 2029

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:20 here. Navami ended at 05:50 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 07:16, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 05:50 Sat, before sunrise at 06:20 Sat, and ends at 07:16, after the next sunrise at 06:20. Both days read Dashami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 7 Apr ran from sunset 18:09 Sat to sunrise 06:20, 12 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:20 to 18:08, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:08 to 06:20 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 07:11 Mon, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 354.6° + 294.1° = 648.7°, one full turn and 288.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 14:49, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 18:29 Sat, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 07:16.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:20 to 06:20 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 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 13 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 24° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
