Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 11 Apr 2051

Ghatasthapana is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Pratipada runs from 22:59 on Mon 10 Apr to 19:20 on Tue 11 Apr, so only Tuesday’s pratahkala (06:21–08:42) falls within it. No text giving Chaitra Navratri · Ghatasthapana’s time was found; pratahkala is Tithika’s convention.

Chaitra Navratri: every date in Ipameri

Vikram Samvat 2108 begins on the day Chaitra Shukla Pratipada holds sunrise: Tue 11 Apr, at 06:21. Pratipada lasts until 19:20.

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, 06:21 here. Amavasya ended at 22:59 Mon, before it. Pratipada ends at 19:20, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 10 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:00, came before Amavasya ended at 07:29: this day reads Amavasya. Pratipada ends at 03:50 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Pratipada: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:21, came after Amavasya ended at 22:59 Mon: this day reads Pratipada.

The night of Mon 10 Apr ran from sunset 18:07 Mon to sunrise 06:21, 12 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:21 to 18:06, 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 night here, 18:06 to 06:21 Wed, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 01:35 Wed, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 356.9° + 1.2° = 358.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 09:09, then Vishkambha.

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 09:08, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 19:20.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:21 to 06:21 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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 10 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 10 Apr 2051, 22:59 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 0.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2108; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1973.
