Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 26 Jan 2087

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:56 here. Saptami ended at 03:42, before it. Ashtami ends at 06:21 Mon, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 18 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 03:42, before sunrise at 05:56, and ends at 06:21 Mon, after the next sunrise at 05:57 Mon. Both days read Ashtami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 25 Jan ran from sunset 18:53 Sat to sunrise 05:56, 11 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:56 to 18:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:53 to 05:57 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 183°20′. It leaves at 06:13, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 281.5° + 186.5° = 468°, one full turn and 108°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 04:16 Mon, then Ganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 17:02, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 06:21 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:56 to 05:57 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 3 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha 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 311.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
