Panchang in Pomoca, Tabasco, Mexico Wed 14 Apr 2027

Rama’s birth is celebrated at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the day. Navami runs from 03:54 on Wed 14 Apr to 01:51 on Thu 15 Apr, so only Wednesday’s madhyahna (10:56–13:27) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

Rama Navami: every date in Pomoca

The Sun enters Mesha at 03:58, after sunset (18:27 Tue), so the next day keeps it: Wed 14 Apr. No text giving Mesha Sankranti’s time was found; sankranti is Tithika’s convention.

Mesha Sankranti: every date in Pomoca

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:56 here. Ashtami ended at 03:54, before it. Navami ends at 01:51 Thu, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 13 Apr ran from sunset 18:27 Tue to sunrise 05:56, 11 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:56 to 18:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:28 to 05:55 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 96°40′. It leaves at 22:03, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 0.1° + 97.2° = 97.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 20:53, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 14:52, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 01:51 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:56 to 05:55 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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 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 6 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: 6 Apr 2027, 17:51 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 7.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
