Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 10 Apr 2100

Ghatasthapana is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Pratipada runs from 13:18 on Fri 9 Apr to 15:53 on Sat 10 Apr, so only Saturday’s pratahkala (06:20–08:42) falls within it. No text giving Chaitra Navratri · Ghatasthapana’s time was found; pratahkala is Tithika’s convention.

Chaitra Navratri: every date in Ipameri

Vikram Samvat 2157 begins on the day Chaitra Shukla Pratipada holds sunrise: Sat 10 Apr, at 06:20. Pratipada lasts until 15:53.

Nav Samvatsar: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:20 here. Amavasya ended at 13:18 Fri, before it. Pratipada ends at 15:53, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 9 Apr ran from sunset 18:07 Fri to sunrise 06:20, 12 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:20 to 18:06, 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, 18:06 to 06:21 Sun, 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 03:13 Sun, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 355.3° + 3° = 358.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 09:23, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna ended at 02:36, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 15:53.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:20 to 06:21 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 15 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 9 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2100, 13:18 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 0.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2157; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2022.
