Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 16 Sep 2073

The first shraddha of Pitru Paksha is done in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day. Pratipada runs from 05:53 on Sat 16 Sep to 08:07 on Sun 17 Sep, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:19–15:43) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

Pitru Paksha begins: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:07 here. Purnima ended at 05:53, before it. Pratipada ends at 08:07 Sun, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 16 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 05:53, before sunrise at 06:07, and ends at 08:07 Sun, after the next sunrise at 06:06 Sun. Both days read Pratipada: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 15 Sep ran from sunset 18:07 Fri to sunrise 06:07, 12 h 0 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:07 to 18:08, 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, 18:08 to 06:06 Sun, 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 326°40′. It leaves at 14:04, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 149.3° + 329.4° = 478.7°, one full turn and 118.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 08:41, then Ganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 18:59, when the lead reaches 186°; Kaulava until 08:07 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:07 to 06:06 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Oct, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 1 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina here, and Bhadrapada in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2073, 11:14 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 155.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2130; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1995.
