Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Mon 26 Dec 2022

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, 06:02 here. Dwitiya ended at 10:54 Sun, before it. Tritiya ends at 07:21, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 23 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 07:21 and ended at 04:08 Tue, between the sunrises of 06:02 and 06:02 Tue. Monday reads Tritiya and Tuesday reads Panchami: Chaturthi is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 06:02, came before Tritiya ended at 07:21: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 04:08 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

The night of Sun 25 Dec ran from sunset 17:32 Sun to sunrise 06:02, 12 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:02 to 17:33, 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, 17:33 to 06:02 Tue, 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 283°20′. It leaves at 19:11, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 249.9° + 285.1° = 535°, one full turn and 175°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 23:31, then Vajra.

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 21:06 Sun, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 07:21.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:02 to 06:02 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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, 22 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 23 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 1 Apr 2022, 14:24 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 262.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2079; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1944.
