Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 5 Jul 2053

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:44 here. Tritiya ended at 05:58 Fri, before it. Chaturthi ends at 07:55, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 05:58 Fri, before sunrise at 06:44 Fri, and ends at 07:55, after the next sunrise at 06:44. Both days read Chaturthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 4 Jul ran from sunset 17:50 Fri to sunrise 06:44, 12 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:44 to 17:50, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:50 to 06:44 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 306°40′. It leaves at 08:52 Sun, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 79.2° + 306.7° = 385.9°, one full turn and 25.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 08:03, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 18:59 Fri, when the lead reached 222°; Balava runs until 07:55.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:44 to 06:44 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 07:51 Mon to 15 Jul 14:26 Tue the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 13:17 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 15 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2053, 04:11 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 103.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2110; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1975.
