Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 15 Feb 2004

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 276°–288° is the 24th, Krishna Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:07 here. Ashtami ended at 08:41 Sat, before it. Navami ends at 06:35, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 6 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 06:35 and ended at 04:20 Mon, between the sunrises of 06:07 and 06:07 Mon. Sunday reads Navami and Monday reads Ekadashi: Dashami is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 07:00, came after Navami ended at 04:05: this day reads Dashami.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 06:07, came before Navami ended at 06:35: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 04:20 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.

The night of Sat 14 Feb ran from sunset 17:54 Sat to sunrise 06:07, 12 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:07 to 17:55, 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, 17:55 to 06:07 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 226°40′. It leaves at 00:00 Mon, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 301.6° + 229.4° = 531°, one full turn and 171°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 09:46, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 19:40 Sat, when the lead reached 282°; Garaja runs until 06:35.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:07 to 06:07 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 20 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha 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 313.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2060; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1925.
