Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 2 Nov 2091

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:33 here. Panchami ended at 17:24 Thu, before it. Shashthi ends at 18:41, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 1 Nov ran from sunset 18:19 Thu to sunrise 05:33, 11 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:33 to 18:19, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:19 to 05:32 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 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 1 at 80°. It leaves at 05:40 Sat, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 195° + 80.8° = 275.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 13:05, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 06:07, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 18:41.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:33 to 05:32 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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 18 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 11 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

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 220.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2148; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2013.
