Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 15 Mar 2067

Vikram Samvat 2124 begins on the day Chaitra Shukla Pratipada holds sunrise: Tue 15 Mar, at 06:15. Pratipada lasts until 03:01 Wed.

Nav Samvatsar: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:15 here. Amavasya ended at 05:29, before it. Pratipada ends at 03:01 Wed, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Mon 14 Mar ran from sunset 18:28 Mon to sunrise 06:15, 11 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 18:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:27 to 06:15 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 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 4 at 330°. It leaves at 10:57, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 330.1° + 330.5° = 660.6°, one full turn and 300.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 15:44, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 16:12, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 03:01 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:15 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 15 Mar 05:29 to 13 Apr 16:24 Wed the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 13:01 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2067, 05:29. Since then the Sun has moved 0.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2124; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1989.
