Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 23 Jul 2000

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:34 here. Panchami ended at 07:07 Sat, before it. Shashthi ends at 07:34, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 16 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

The night of Sat 22 Jul ran from sunset 18:12 Sat to sunrise 05:34, 11 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:34 to 18:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:12 to 05:34 Mon, 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 346°40′. It leaves at 04:37 Mon, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 96.5° + 347.5° = 444°, one full turn and 84°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 21:40, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 19:25 Sat, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 07:34.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:34 to 05:34 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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 31 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 31 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: 5 Apr 2000, 02:12 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 105.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2057; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1922.
