Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Wed 30 Sep 2026

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 19:40 on Tue 29 Sep to 17:25 on Wed 30 Sep, between the two nights’ moonrise, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Wed 30 Sep. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:35 here. Tritiya ended at 19:40 Tue, before it. Chaturthi ends at 17:25, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 29 Sep ran from sunset 17:39 Tue to sunrise 05:35, 11 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:35 to 17:38, 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 night here, 17:38 to 05:35 Thu, 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 23°20′. It leaves at 10:06, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 162.5° + 24° = 186.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 05:50, then Vajra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 06:34, when the lead reaches 222°; Balava until 17:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:35 to 05:35 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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 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 10 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: 19 Mar 2026, 09:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 188.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
