Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 16 Mar 2086

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:15 here. Pratipada ended at 01:11, before it. Dwitiya ends at 21:31, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:29, came before Pratipada ended at 09:41: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 06:01 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:15, came after Pratipada ended at 01:11: this day reads Dwitiya.

The night of Fri 15 Mar ran from sunset 18:27 Fri to sunrise 06:15, 11 h 48 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 18:26, 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, 18:26 to 06:16 Sun, 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′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 343°20′. It leaves at 07:00, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 331.2° + 346.2° = 677.4°, one full turn and 317.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 10:08, then Brahma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 11:19, when the lead reaches 18°; Kaulava until 21:31.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:16 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 05:05 Fri to 13 Apr 13:54 Sat the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 10:05 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 15 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2086, 05:05 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 1.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
