Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 18 May 2064

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, 06:31 here. Pratipada ended at 07:41 Sat, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:01, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 17 May ran from sunset 17:46 Sat to sunrise 06:31, 12 h 45 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:31 to 17:46, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:46 to 06:32 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 56°40′. It leaves at 00:54 Mon, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 33.5° + 56.8° = 90.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 11:52, then Dhriti.

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 ended at 19:54 Sat, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 08:01.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:31 to 06:32 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 May 06:55 Fri to 14 Jun 19:21 Sat the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 14 Jun 22:06 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2064, 22:45 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 60° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2121; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1986.
