Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Wed 1 Jul 2015

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:29 here. Trayodashi ended at 13:07 Tue, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 12:00, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 30 Jun ran from sunset 18:12 Tue to sunrise 05:29, 11 h 17 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 18:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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 05:29 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 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 4 at 236°40′. It leaves at 06:48, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 74.7° + 239.2° = 313.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 15:24, then Brahma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 00:38, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 12:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:29 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 22:05 Tue to 16 Jul 09:24 Thu the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 06:32 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 16 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 17:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 99.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
