Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 10 Jul 2075

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 19:32 on Tue 9 Jul to 22:03 on Wed 10 Jul, touching pradosha on both evenings. The Nirnayasindhu takes the evening it holds more of: Wed 10 Jul. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi began at 22:03 on Wed 10 Jul, before that night’s nishitha, and ended at 00:39 on Fri 12 Jul, partway into the next. The Nirnayasindhu takes the night Chaturdashi fills: Wed 10 Jul. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:44 here. Dwadashi ended at 19:32 Tue, before it. Trayodashi ends at 22:03, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 9 Jul ran from sunset 17:52 Tue to sunrise 06:44, 12 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:44 to 17:52, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:52 to 06:44 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 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 4 at 50°. It leaves at 08:27, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 83.4° + 52.5° = 135.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 03:00 Thu, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 08:46, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 22:03.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:44 to 06:44 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 13 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

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 112° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2132; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1997.
