Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Tue 16 Oct 2001

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya begins at 06:32 on Tue 16 Oct, after that sunrise, and ends at 03:23 on Wed 17 Oct, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Tue 16 Oct. 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: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:36 here. Trayodashi ended at 09:52 Mon, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 06:32, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 06:32 and ended at 03:23 Wed, between the sunrises of 05:36 and 05:36 Wed. Tuesday reads Chaturdashi and Wednesday reads Pratipada: Amavasya is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:36, came before Chaturdashi ended at 06:32: this day reads Chaturdashi. Amavasya ends at 03:23 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Amavasya: it is kshaya.

The night of Mon 15 Oct ran from sunset 17:29 Mon 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 Wed, 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 17:10, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 178.7° + 166.2° = 344.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 08:17, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti ended at 20:11 Mon, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 06:32.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:36 to 05:36 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Sep 18:27 Mon to 17 Oct 03:23 Wed the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 12:37 Wed, 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 2001, 09:21 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 198.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2058; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1923.
