Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 1 Nov 2015

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 228°–240° is the 20th, Krishna Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:38 here. Chaturthi ended at 08:55 Sat, before it. Panchami ends at 07:42, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 31 Oct ran from sunset 17:23 Sat to sunrise 05:38, 12 h 15 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:38 to 17:23, 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, 17:23 to 05:38 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 70°. It leaves at 18:15, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 194.1° + 73° = 267.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 03:27 Mon, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 20:13 Sat, when the lead reached 234°; Taitila runs until 07:42.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:38 to 05:38 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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 18 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 12 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 12 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina 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 218.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
