Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 21 Oct 2055

The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day. Dwitiya runs from 04:01 on Thu 21 Oct to 00:30 on Fri 22 Oct, so only Thursday’s aparahna (13:13–15:44) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

Bhai Dooj: every date in Ipameri

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, 05:39 here. Pratipada ended at 04:01, before it. Dwitiya ends at 00:30 Fri, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 20 Oct ran from sunset 18:14 Wed to sunrise 05:39, 11 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:39 to 18:15, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:15 to 05:39 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 193°20′. It leaves at 11:35, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 183.3° + 196.3° = 379.6°, one full turn and 19.6°. 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 16:15, then Ayushmana.

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 runs until 14:13, when the lead reaches 18°; Kaulava until 00:30 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:39 to 05:39 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 20 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2055, 04:01 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 200.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2112; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1977.
