Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 6 Oct 2081

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:50 here. Chaturthi ended at 02:35, before it. Panchami ends at 01:06 Tue, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Sun 5 Oct ran from sunset 18:11 Sun to sunrise 05:50, 11 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:50 to 18:11, 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 night here, 18:11 to 05:49 Tue, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 216°40′. It leaves at 19:57, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 168.8° + 218.5° = 387.3°, one full turn and 27.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 02:28 Tue, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 13:45, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 01:06 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:50 to 05:49 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 2 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2081, 05:16 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 173.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2138; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2003.
