Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Wed 3 Jan 2018

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:05 here. Purnima ended at 10:24 Tue, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:38, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 06:38 and ended at 03:07 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:05 and 06:06 Thu. Wednesday reads Pratipada and Thursday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 06:05, came before Pratipada ended at 06:38: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 03:07 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

The night of Tue 2 Jan ran from sunset 17:36 Tue to sunrise 06:05, 12 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:05 to 17:37, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:37 to 06:06 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 90°. It leaves at 11:18, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 258.4° + 90° = 348.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 23:22, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 20:29 Tue, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 06:38.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:05 to 06:06 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 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 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 17 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: 28 Mar 2017, 10:57 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 274.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
