Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 13 Apr 2066

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 22:24 on Mon 12 Apr to 19:29 on Tue 13 Apr, between the two nights’ moonrise, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Tue 13 Apr. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:21 here. Tritiya ended at 22:24 Mon, before it. Chaturthi ends at 19:29, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 10 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:57, came before Tritiya ended at 06:54: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 03:59 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:21, came after Tritiya ended at 22:24 Mon: this day reads Chaturthi.

The night of Mon 12 Apr ran from sunset 18:05 Mon to sunrise 06:21, 12 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:21 to 18:04, 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, 18:04 to 06:21 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 216°40′. It leaves at 18:04, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 359° + 219.5° = 578.5°, one full turn and 218.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 18:53, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 08:55, when the lead reaches 222°; Balava until 19:29.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:21 to 06:21 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 24 Apr, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 24 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha here, and Chaitra in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 2066, 19:14 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 18.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2123; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1988.
