Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 24 Mar 2047

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 04:36 on Sun 24 Mar to 06:33 on Mon 25 Mar, so only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:55–00:42 Mon) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

Masik Shivratri: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:17 here. Trayodashi ended at 04:36, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 06:33 Mon, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 11 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 04:36, before sunrise at 06:17, and ends at 06:33 Mon, after the next sunrise at 06:17 Mon. Both days read Chaturdashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 23 Mar ran from sunset 18:21 Sat to sunrise 06:17, 11 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:17 to 18:20, 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 night here, 18:20 to 06:17 Mon, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 313°20′. It leaves at 14:22, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 339.1° + 315.9° = 655°, one full turn and 295°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 03:35 Mon, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti runs until 17:33, when the lead reaches 342°; Shakuni until 06:33 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:17 to 06:17 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 26 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 2046, 08:51 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 346.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2103; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1968.
