Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 17 Oct 1982

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 08:41 on Sat 16 Oct to 08:04 on Sun 17 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 17 Oct, at 05:36. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:36 here. Chaturdashi ended at 08:41 Sat, before it. Amavasya ends at 08:04, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 16 Oct ran from sunset 17:29 Sat to sunrise 05:36, 12 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:36 to 17:29, 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 night here, 17:29 to 05:36 Mon, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 176°40′. It leaves at 20:51, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 179.6° + 178.3° = 357.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 09:08, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada ended at 20:19 Sat, when the lead reached 354°; Nagava runs until 08:04.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:36 to 05:36 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 17 Sep 20:09 Fri to 17 Oct 08:04 the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 15:46, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 17 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1982, 18:17 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 198.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
