Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 30 Aug 2090

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:21 here. Panchami ended at 13:37 Tue, before it. Shashthi ends at 11:35, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 25 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 29 Aug ran from sunset 18:05 Tue to sunrise 06:21, 12 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:21 to 18:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:05 to 06:20 Thu, 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 200°. It leaves at 02:46 Thu, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 132.4° + 201.6° = 334°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 02:55 Thu, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 00:32, when the lead reached 66°; Taitila runs until 11:35.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:21 to 06:20 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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 Sep, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 25 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada. This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 31 Mar 2090, 00:49 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 146.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2147; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2012.
