Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 17 Sep 2077

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:06 here. Amavasya ended at 02:54, before it. Pratipada ends at 05:23 Sat, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Thu 16 Sep ran from sunset 18:08 Thu to sunrise 06:06, 11 h 58 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:06 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 06:05 Sat, 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 150°. It leaves at 23:00, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 150.2° + 151.6° = 301.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 15:06, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 16:07, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 05:23 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:06 to 06:05 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 17 Sep 02:54 to 16 Oct 20:08 Sat the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 13:15 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 17 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2077, 05:25 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 170.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2134; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1999.
