Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 3 Aug 2088

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:38 here. Purnima ended at 10:41 Mon, before it. Pratipada ends at 11:52, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 2 Aug ran from sunset 17:59 Mon to sunrise 06:38, 12 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:38 to 18:00, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:00 to 06:37 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 02:13 Wed, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 107° + 296.4° = 403.4°, one full turn and 43.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 00:19 Wed, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 23:19 Mon, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 11:52.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:38 to 06:37 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 05:40 Sun to 16 Aug 13:16 Mon the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 20:57 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 16 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2088, 21:01 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 128.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2145; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2010.
