Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 22 Jul 2069

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:42 here. Tritiya ended at 06:36 Sun, before it. Chaturthi ends at 07:23, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 06:36 Sun, before sunrise at 06:42 Sun, and ends at 07:23, after the next sunrise at 06:42. Both days read Chaturthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 21 Jul ran from sunset 17:56 Sun to sunrise 06:42, 12 h 46 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:42 to 17:56, 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, 17:56 to 06:42 Tue, 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 140°. It leaves at 13:43, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 95.4° + 143° = 238.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 09:32, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 18:54 Sun, when the lead reached 42°; Vishti runs until 07:23.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:42 to 06:42 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 08:13 Thu to 16 Aug 19:03 Fri the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 00:00 Sat, 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 18 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2069, 22:14 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 117.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2126; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1991.
