Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 30 Mar 2048

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:18 here. Purnima ended at 23:04 Sun, before it. Pratipada ends at 20:13, when the lead reaches 192°. 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.

Sunrise here, 06:13, came before Purnima ended at 07:34: this day reads Purnima. Pratipada ends at 04:43 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Pratipada: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:18, came after Purnima ended at 23:04 Sun: this day reads Pratipada.

The night of Sun 29 Mar ran from sunset 18:15 Sun to sunrise 06:18, 12 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:18 to 18:14, 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 night here, 18:14 to 06:19 Tue, 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 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 3 at 166°40′. It leaves at 11:57, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 345.8° + 169.9° = 515.7°, one full turn and 155.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 12:54, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 09:41, when the lead reaches 186°; Kaulava until 20:13.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:18 to 06:19 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Mar 11:27 Sat to 13 Apr 02:19 Mon the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 16:17 Mon, 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: 14 Mar 2048, 11:27 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 15.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2105; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1970.
