Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 21 Jan 2050

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 09:00 on Fri 21 Jan to 05:38 on Sat 22 Jan, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:02 Sat–00:46 Sat) 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: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:53 here. Dwadashi ended at 11:51 Thu, before it. Trayodashi ends at 09:00, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 09:00 and ended at 05:38 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:53 and 05:54 Sat. Friday reads Trayodashi and Saturday reads Amavasya: Chaturdashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 20 Jan ran from sunset 18:54 Thu to sunrise 05:53, 10 h 59 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:53 to 18:54, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:54 to 05:54 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 250°. It leaves at 09:26, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 276.9° + 251.2° = 528.1°, one full turn and 168.1°. 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 13:50, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 22:30 Thu, when the lead reached 330°; Vanija runs until 09:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:53 to 05:54 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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 23 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 2 Apr 2049, 08:39 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 288.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2106; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1971.
