Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 26 Aug 2091

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 20:50 on Sat 25 Aug to 20:39 on Sun 26 Aug, so only Sunday’s pradosha (18:05–20:32) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:24 here. Dwadashi ended at 20:50 Sat, before it. Trayodashi ends at 20:39, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 25 Aug ran from sunset 18:04 Sat to sunrise 06:24, 12 h 20 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 18:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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 06:23 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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 Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 276°40′. It leaves at 11:38, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 128.3° + 277.2° = 405.5°, one full turn and 45.5°. 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 19:55, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 08:41, when the lead reaches 150°; Taitila until 20:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:23 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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 14 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2091, 00:47 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 153.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2148; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2013.
