Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 19 Apr 2075

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, 06:22 here. Tritiya ended at 09:54 Thu, before it. Chaturthi ends at 12:09, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 18 Apr ran from sunset 18:01 Thu to sunrise 06:22, 12 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:22 to 18:00, 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, 18:00 to 06:23 Sat, 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 46°40′. It leaves at 13:13, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 4.6° + 49.9° = 54.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 05:07 Sat, then Atiganda.

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 22:59 Thu, when the lead reached 42°; Vishti runs until 12:09.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:22 to 06:23 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Apr 05:56 Mon to 14 May 20:23 Tue the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 15 May 11:09 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2075, 16:26 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 33.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2132; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1997.
