Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 15 Feb 2052

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, 06:06 here. Purnima ended at 15:21 Wed, before it. Pratipada ends at 15:20, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 14 Feb ran from sunset 18:47 Wed to sunrise 06:06, 11 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:06 to 18:46, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:46 to 06:07 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 126°40′. It leaves at 13:45, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 301.8° + 129.2° = 431°, one full turn and 71°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 21:39, then Sukarma.

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 ended at 03:16, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 15:20.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:06 to 06:07 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 1 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

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 305.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2108; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1973.
