Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 24 Nov 2019

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 06:13 on Sun 24 Nov to 03:35 on Mon 25 Nov, so only Sunday’s pradosha (17:21–19:50) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: 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, 05:45 here. Ekadashi ended at 08:54 Sat, before it. Dwadashi ends at 06:13, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Trayodashi began at 06:13 and ended at 03:35 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:45 and 05:46 Mon. Sunday reads Dwadashi and Monday reads Chaturdashi: Trayodashi is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:45, came before Dwadashi ended at 06:13: this day reads Dwadashi. Trayodashi ends at 03:35 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Trayodashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Sat 23 Nov ran from sunset 17:21 Sat to sunrise 05:45, 12 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:45 to 17:21, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:21 to 05:46 Mon, 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 180°. It leaves at 15:17, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 217.2° + 180.9° = 398.1°, one full turn and 38.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 08:44, then Saubhagya.

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 ended at 19:33 Sat, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 06:13.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:45 to 05:46 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 17 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 26 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 5 Apr 2019, 16:50 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 226° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2076; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1941.
