Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 14 Aug 1966

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 05:37 on Sun 14 Aug to 02:48 on Mon 15 Aug, so only Sunday’s pradosha (18:06–20:24) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 02:48 on Mon 15 Aug to 23:27 on Mon 15 Aug, between the two nights’ nishitha, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Sun 14 Aug. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:37 here. Ekadashi ended at 07:47 Sat, before it. Dwadashi ends at 05:37, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Trayodashi began at 05:37 and ended at 02:48 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:37 and 05:37 Mon. Sunday reads Dwadashi and Monday reads Chaturdashi: Trayodashi is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:49, came after Dwadashi ended at 03:07: this day reads Trayodashi.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:37, came before Dwadashi ended at 05:37: this day reads Dwadashi. Trayodashi ends at 02:48 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Trayodashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Sat 13 Aug ran from sunset 18:06 Sat to sunrise 05:37, 11 h 31 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 18:06, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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 05:37 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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 01:30 Mon, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 117.3° + 81.3° = 198.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 07:52, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 18:48 Sat, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 05:37.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:37 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 12:30 Mon to 16 Aug 19:47 Tue the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 01:28 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 16 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 1966, 12:46 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 139.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2023; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1888.
