Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 15 May 2037

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:30 here. Amavasya ended at 02:54, before it. Pratipada ends at 02:47 Sat, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Thu 14 May ran from sunset 17:47 Thu to sunrise 06:30, 12 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:30 to 17:47, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:47 to 06:31 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 30°. It leaves at 20:40, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 30.5° + 32.3° = 62.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 13:05, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 14:54, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 02:47 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:30 to 06:31 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 15 May 02:54 to 13 Jun 14:10 Sat the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 00:02 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2037, 20:36 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 58.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2094; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1959.
