Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 21 Apr 2075

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:23 here. Panchami ended at 14:42 Sat, before it. Shashthi ends at 17:20, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 20 Apr ran from sunset 17:59 Sat to sunrise 06:23, 12 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:23 to 17:59, 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, 17:59 to 06:23 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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 19:26, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 6.5° + 73.6° = 80.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 07:12 Mon, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 04:01, when the lead reached 66°; Taitila runs until 17:20.

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

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 35.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2132; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1997.
