Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Wed 28 Apr 2021

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, 05:30 here. Purnima ended at 11:31 Tue, before it. Pratipada ends at 07:44, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 07:44 and ended at 04:04 Thu, between the sunrises of 05:30 and 05:30 Thu. Wednesday reads Pratipada and Thursday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:30, came before Pratipada ended at 07:44: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 04:04 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

The night of Tue 27 Apr ran from sunset 17:58 Tue to sunrise 05:30, 11 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:30 to 17:59, 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 night here, 17:59 to 05:30 Thu, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 203°20′. It leaves at 19:42, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 13.7° + 204.4° = 218.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 18:20, then Variyana.

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 21:38 Tue, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 07:44.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:30 to 05:30 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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 12 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 12 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha here, and Chaitra in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 12 Apr 2021, 10:30 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 15.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2078; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1943.
