Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 21 Feb 2061

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, 06:09 here. Pratipada ended at 00:52, before it. Dwitiya ends at 22:54, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Sun 20 Feb ran from sunset 18:43 Sun to sunrise 06:09, 11 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 18:42, 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, 18:42 to 06:09 Tue, 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 23:03, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 308.5° + 323.4° = 631.9°, one full turn and 271.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 18:57, then Sadhya.

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 11:55, when the lead reaches 18°; Kaulava until 22:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:09 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 21 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 31 Mar 2060, 22:38 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 321.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2117; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1982.
