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, 06:10 here. Trayodashi ended at 11:07 Tue, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 08:01, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 08:01 and ended at 05:04 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:10 and 06:10 Thu. Wednesday reads Chaturdashi and Thursday reads Pratipada: Amavasya is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 06:10, came before Chaturdashi ended at 08:01: this day reads Chaturdashi. Amavasya ends at 05:04 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Amavasya: it is kshaya.

The night of Tue 20 Jan ran from sunset 17:46 Tue to sunrise 06:10, 12 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:10 to 17:46, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:46 to 06:10 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 260°. It leaves at 11:47, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 276.3° + 263.2° = 539.5°, one full turn and 179.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 17:05, then Vajra.

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 21:34 Tue, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 08:01.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:10 to 06:10 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 15 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 22 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 22 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 2 Apr 2003, 03:18 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 288.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2060; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1925.
