Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 28 Mar 2086

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, 06:18 here. Trayodashi ended at 22:27 Wed, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 00:55 Fri, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 27 Mar ran from sunset 18:17 Wed to sunrise 06:18, 12 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:18 to 18:16, 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 night here, 18:16 to 06:18 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 140°. It leaves at 14:24, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 343.1° + 142.7° = 485.8°, one full turn and 125.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 20:26, then Vriddhi.

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 11:42, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 00:55 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:18 to 06:18 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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 13° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
