Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Fri 17 Jul 1992

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:33 here. Pratipada ended at 05:21 Thu, before it. Dwitiya ends at 07:44, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 15 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 05:21 Thu, before sunrise at 05:32 Thu, and ends at 07:44, after the next sunrise at 05:33. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 16 Jul ran from sunset 18:13 Thu to sunrise 05:33, 11 h 20 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:33 to 18:13, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:13 to 05:33 Sat, 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 07:35 Sat, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 90.8° + 293.8° = 384.6°, one full turn and 24.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 09:22, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 18:32 Thu, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 07:44.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:33 to 05:33 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 30 Jul, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 30 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 1992, 13:01 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 100.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2049; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1914.
