Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 23 Jan 2081

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:55 here. Dwadashi ended at 11:13 Wed, before it. Trayodashi ends at 08:13, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 08:13 and ended at 04:45 Fri, between the sunrises of 05:55 and 05:55 Fri. Thursday reads Trayodashi and Friday reads Purnima: Chaturdashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Wed 22 Jan ran from sunset 18:53 Wed to sunrise 05:55, 11 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:55 to 18:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:53 to 05:55 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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 16:02, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 279° + 73.7° = 352.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 16:51, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 21:47 Wed, when the lead reached 150°; Taitila runs until 08:13.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:55 to 05:55 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 9 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2080, 09:07 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 302.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2137; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2002.
