Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Mon 27 Dec 2027

Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya runs from 02:53 on Mon 27 Dec to 04:12 on Tue 28 Dec, so it holds sunrise only on Mon 27 Dec, at 06:02. 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: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:02 here. Chaturdashi ended at 02:53, before it. Amavasya ends at 04:12 Tue, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 26 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 240°. It leaves at 07:37 Tue, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 250.6° + 240.2° = 490.8°, one full turn and 130.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 10:33, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada runs until 15:29, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 04:12 Tue.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 28 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 28 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, begins Pausha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Pausha here, and Margashirsha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 07:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 257.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
