Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sat 13 Jan 2018

Lohri’s bonfire is lit on the evening before Makar Sankranti. The Sun enters Makara at 16:16 Sun, and Makar Sankranti is on Sun 14 Jan: Sat 13 Jan. No text giving Lohri’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Lohri: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:08 here. Ekadashi ended at 23:52 Fri, before it. Dwadashi ends at 02:22 Sun, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 12 Jan ran from sunset 17:42 Fri to sunrise 06:08, 12 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:08 to 17:42, 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, 17:42 to 06:09 Sun, 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 223°20′. It leaves at 12:44, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 268.6° + 223.4° = 492°, one full turn and 132°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 08:42, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 13:05, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 02:22 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:08 to 06:09 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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 285.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
