Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 26 Dec 2030

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:37 here. Pratipada ended at 10:49 Wed, before it. Dwitiya ends at 07:18, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 24 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 07:18 and ended at 04:11 Fri, between the sunrises of 05:37 and 05:38 Fri. Thursday reads Dwitiya and Friday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Wed 25 Dec ran from sunset 18:48 Wed to sunrise 05:37, 10 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 18:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:49 to 05:38 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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 Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 270°. It leaves at 16:21, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 250.3° + 273.3° = 523.6°, one full turn and 163.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 20:15, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 21:01 Wed, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 07:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:38 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 24 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 2 Apr 2030, 19:02 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 261.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2087; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1952.
