Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sat 4 Jul 2015

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:29 here. Pratipada ended at 08:12 Fri, before it. Dwitiya ends at 05:48, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 05:48 and ended at 03:14 Sun, between the sunrises of 05:29 and 05:30 Sun. Saturday reads Dwitiya and Sunday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:27, came after Dwitiya ended at 03:18: this day reads Tritiya.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:29, came before Dwitiya ended at 05:48: this day reads Dwitiya. Tritiya ends at 03:14 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Tritiya: it is kshaya.

The night of Fri 3 Jul ran from sunset 18:13 Fri to sunrise 05:29, 11 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 18:13, 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, 18:13 to 05:30 Sun, 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 280°. It leaves at 01:25 Sun, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 77.6° + 281.4° = 359°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 07:08, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 19:02 Fri, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 05:48.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:30 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 102.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
