Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 23 Mar 2067

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:17 here. Ashtami ended at 04:58, before it. Navami ends at 07:34 Thu, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 04:58, before sunrise at 06:17, and ends at 07:34 Thu, after the next sunrise at 06:17 Thu. Both days read Navami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 22 Mar ran from sunset 18:21 Tue to sunrise 06:17, 11 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:17 to 18:21, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:21 to 06:17 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 73°20′. It leaves at 17:11, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 338° + 74.6° = 412.6°, one full turn and 52.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 07:33, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 18:15, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 07:34 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:17 to 06:17 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 05:29 Tue 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 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2124; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1989.
