Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Fri 16 Oct 2020

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya begins at 07:23 on Fri 16 Oct, after that sunrise, and ends at 03:31 on Sat 17 Oct, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Fri 16 Oct. No text giving Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:36 here. Trayodashi ended at 11:03 Thu, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 07:23, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 07:23 and ended at 03:31 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:36 and 05:36 Sat. Friday reads Chaturdashi and Saturday reads Pratipada: Amavasya is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:36, came before Chaturdashi ended at 07:23: this day reads Chaturdashi. Amavasya ends at 03:31 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Amavasya: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 15 Oct ran from sunset 17:29 Thu to sunrise 05:36, 12 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:36 to 17:29, 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 night here, 17:29 to 05:36 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 17:27, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 178.8° + 165.8° = 344.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 08:36, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti ended at 21:15 Thu, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 07:23.

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

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 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 198.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
