Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 4 Apr 2086

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 228°–240° is the 20th, Krishna Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:19 here. Chaturthi ended at 10:43 Wed, before it. Panchami ends at 11:39, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 3 Apr ran from sunset 18:11 Wed to sunrise 06:19, 12 h 8 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:19 to 18:11, 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, 18:11 to 06:19 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 226°40′. It leaves at 06:01 Fri, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 350° + 227.4° = 577.4°, one full turn and 217.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 22:30, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 23:15 Wed, when the lead reached 234°; Taitila runs until 11:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:19 to 06:19 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 13 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 19.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
