Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 26 Oct 1997

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:37 here. Navami ended at 03:37 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 06:07, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 16 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 03:37 Sat, before sunrise at 05:36 Sat, and ends at 06:07, after the next sunrise at 05:37. Both days read Dashami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 25 Oct ran from sunset 17:25 Sat to sunrise 05:37, 12 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 17:25, 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 night here, 17:25 to 05:37 Mon, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 126°40′. It leaves at 15:32, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 188.7° + 128.5° = 317.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 10:59, then Brahma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 16:50 Sat, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 06:07.

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.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 31 Oct, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 31 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 1997, 19:01 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 194.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2054; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1919.
