Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Thu 19 Sep 2024

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, 05:36 here. Purnima ended at 10:34 Wed, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:49, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 18 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 06:49 and ended at 03:10 Fri, between the sunrises of 05:36 and 05:36 Fri. Thursday reads Pratipada and Friday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:36, came before Pratipada ended at 06:49: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 03:10 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

The night of Wed 18 Sep ran from sunset 17:45 Wed 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 17:45, 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, 17:45 to 05:36 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 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′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 343°20′. It leaves at 10:34, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 152.3° + 343.5° = 495.8°, one full turn and 135.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 21:48, then Dhruva.

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 20:42 Wed, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 06:49.

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

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Oct, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2024, 02:20 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 157.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
