Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 1 Dec 2088

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 00:40 on Wed 1 Dec to 21:25 on Wed 1 Dec, between the two nights’ moonrise, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Wed 1 Dec. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:28 here. Tritiya ended at 00:40, before it. Chaturthi ends at 21:25, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:56, came before Tritiya ended at 09:10: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 05:55 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:28, came after Tritiya ended at 00:40: this day reads Chaturthi.

The night of Tue 30 Nov ran from sunset 18:35 Tue to sunrise 05:28, 10 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:28 to 18:35, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:35 to 05:28 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 83°20′. It leaves at 20:50, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 225° + 83.8° = 308.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 22:21, then Brahma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 11:00, when the lead reaches 222°; Balava until 21:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:28 to 05:28 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 12 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 12 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika 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 246.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2145; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2010.
