Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 13 Mar 2082

Holika is burnt in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset, outside bhadra. Purnima runs from 17:25 on Fri 13 Mar to 13:46 on Sat 14 Mar, so only Friday’s pradosha (18:28–20:50) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:37 Sat, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:02 Sat–01:03 Sat, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.

Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:02 Sat–01:03 Sat.

Holika Dahan: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:15 here. Trayodashi ended at 20:46 Thu, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 17:25, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 27 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 12 Mar ran from sunset 18:29 Thu to sunrise 06:15, 11 h 46 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 18:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:28 to 06:15 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 126°40′. It leaves at 12:04, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 328.2° + 129.7° = 457.9°, one full turn and 97.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 19:21, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 07:08, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 17:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:15 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 27 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna 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 333° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2138; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2003.
