Panchang in Progreso, Yucatán, Mexico Wed 23 Sep 2026

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 11:21 on Wed 23 Sep to 11:48 on Thu 24 Sep, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:53–20:16) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Progreso

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:47 here. Ekadashi ended at 10:13 Tue, before it. Dwadashi ends at 11:21, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 10 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 22 Sep ran from sunset 17:54 Tue to sunrise 05:47, 11 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:47 to 17:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:53 to 05:48 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 296°40′. It leaves at 23:05, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 156.2° + 297.6° = 453.8°, one full turn and 93.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 04:24 Thu, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 22:52 Tue, when the lead reached 138°; Balava runs until 11:21.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:47 to 05:48 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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 Oct, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 10 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada. This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 19:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 182° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
