Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 18 Apr 2056

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:22 here. Tritiya ended at 04:09, before it. Chaturthi ends at 06:22 Wed, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Mon 17 Apr ran from sunset 18:01 Mon to sunrise 06:22, 12 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:22 to 18:00, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:00 to 06:23 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 40°. It leaves at 06:11 Wed, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 4.4° + 41.5° = 45.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 20:10, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 17:17, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 06:22 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:22 to 06:23 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Apr 20:50 Fri to 14 May 13:06 Sun the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 14 May 14:13 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 14 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2056, 03:52 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 32.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2113; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1978.
