Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Mon 28 Mar 1983

Holika is burnt in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset, outside bhadra. Purnima runs from 05:55 on Mon 28 Mar to 03:26 on Tue 29 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (17:57–20:19) falls within it.

Holika Dahan: every date in Codcod

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 05:55 on Mon 28 Mar, after that sunrise, and ends at 03:26 on Tue 29 Mar, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Mon 28 Mar. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:47 here. Trayodashi ended at 08:39 Sun, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 05:55, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 05:55 and ended at 03:26 Tue, between the sunrises of 05:47 and 05:46 Tue. Monday reads Chaturdashi and Tuesday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:47, came before Chaturdashi ended at 05:55: this day reads Chaturdashi. Purnima ends at 03:26 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Purnima: it is kshaya.

The night of Sun 27 Mar ran from sunset 17:57 Sun to sunrise 05:47, 11 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:47 to 17:57, 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 night here, 17:57 to 05:46 Tue, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 150°. It leaves at 20:50, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 343° + 151° = 494°, one full turn and 134°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 01:34 Tue, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 19:16 Sun, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 05:55.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:47 to 05:46 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 15 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

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 362.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
