Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 24 Aug 2096

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:25 here. Shashthi ended at 05:08, before it. Saptami ends at 07:40 Sat, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 05:08, before sunrise at 06:25, and ends at 07:40 Sat, after the next sunrise at 06:24 Sat. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 23 Aug ran from sunset 18:04 Thu to sunrise 06:25, 12 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:25 to 18:04, 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, 18:04 to 06:24 Sat, 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 196°40′. It leaves at 07:07, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 127.1° + 199.7° = 326.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 18:48, then Indra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 18:23, when the lead reaches 78°; Vanija until 07:40 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:25 to 06:24 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Aug 00:02 Sat to 16 Sep 12:12 Sun the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 16 Sep 22:06 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada itself.

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 18 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2096, 05:56 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 147.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2153; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2018.
