Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 22 Aug 2031

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:27 here. Chaturthi ended at 05:39, before it. Panchami ends at 05:41 Sat, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Thu 21 Aug ran from sunset 18:04 Thu to sunrise 06:27, 12 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:27 to 18:04, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:04 to 06:26 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 170°. It leaves at 06:41, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 124.8° + 173.2° = 298°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 21:24, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 17:43, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 05:41 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:27 to 06:26 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Aug 01:32 Mon to 16 Sep 15:46 Tue the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 17 Sep 06:19 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 18 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 00:49 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 146.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
