Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 14 Mar 2051

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:15 here. Pratipada ended at 10:07 Mon, before it. Dwitiya ends at 06:28, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 06:28 and ended at 03:05 Wed, between the sunrises of 06:15 and 06:15 Wed. Tuesday reads Dwitiya and Wednesday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 13 Mar ran from sunset 18:29 Mon to sunrise 06:15, 11 h 46 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 18:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:28 to 06:15 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 350°. It leaves at 17:22, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 329.2° + 353° = 682.2°, one full turn and 322.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 22:57, then Indra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 20:16 Mon, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 06:28.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:15 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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, 10 Apr, 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 12 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2050, 21:41 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 351.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2107; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1972.
