Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 14 Aug 2061

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:32 here. Trayodashi ended at 11:12 Sat, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 08:46, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 13 Aug ran from sunset 18:02 Sat to sunrise 06:32, 12 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:32 to 18:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:02 to 06:31 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 103°20′. It leaves at 10:42, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 117.4° + 104.2° = 221.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 14:31, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti ended at 21:57 Sat, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 08:46.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:32 to 06:31 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jul 22:10 Sat to 15 Aug 06:39 Mon the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 22:50 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2061, 14:23 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 140.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2118; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1983.
