Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 20 Sep 2020

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:36 here. Dwitiya ended at 11:40 Sat, before it. Tritiya ends at 08:09, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 08:09 and ended at 04:57 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:36 and 05:36 Mon. Sunday reads Tritiya and Monday reads Panchami: Chaturthi is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 06:08, came after Tritiya ended at 05:39: this day reads Chaturthi.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:36, came before Tritiya ended at 08:09: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 04:57 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

The night of Sat 19 Sep ran from sunset 17:45 Sat to sunrise 05:36, 11 h 51 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:36 to 17:44, 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 night here, 17:44 to 05:36 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 186°40′. It leaves at 01:21 Mon, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 153.3° + 187.8° = 341.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 14:07, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 21:53 Sat, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 08:09.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:36 to 05:36 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Sep 19:00 Thu to 17 Oct 03:31 Sat the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 09:35 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 17 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2020, 17:28 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 173.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
