Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 25 Mar 2089

Holika is burnt in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset, outside bhadra. Purnima runs from 08:23 on Fri 25 Mar to 06:21 on Sat 26 Mar, so only Friday’s pradosha (18:18–20:42) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 19:19, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 19:19.

Holika Dahan muhurat: the time after bhadra, 19:19–20:42.

Holika Dahan: every date in Ipameri

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, 06:17 here. Trayodashi ended at 10:45 Thu, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 08:23, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 24 Mar ran from sunset 18:19 Thu to sunrise 06:17, 11 h 58 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:17 to 18:18, 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 night here, 18:18 to 06:18 Sat, 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 146°40′. It leaves at 04:02 Sat, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 340.4° + 147.2° = 487.6°, one full turn and 127.6°. 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 15:24, 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 ended at 21:32 Thu, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 08:23.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:17 to 06:18 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

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 362.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2145; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2010.
