Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Thu 19 Oct 2028

The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day. Dwitiya runs from 07:31 on Thu 19 Oct to 04:29 on Fri 20 Oct, so only Thursday’s aparahna (12:43–15:05) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

Govardhan Puja is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Pratipada runs from 10:56 on Wed 18 Oct to 07:31 on Thu 19 Oct, so it touches only Thursday’s pratahkala (05:36–07:58). No text giving Govardhan Puja’s time was found; pratahkala is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:36 here. Amavasya ended at 10:56 Wed, before it. Pratipada ends at 07:31, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 07:31 and ended at 04:29 Fri, between the sunrises of 05:36 and 05:36 Fri. Thursday reads Pratipada and Friday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:36, came before Pratipada ended at 07:31: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 04:29 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

The night of Wed 18 Oct ran from sunset 17:28 Wed to sunrise 05:36, 12 h 8 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:36 to 17:27, 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 night here, 17:27 to 05:36 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 190°. It leaves at 17:28, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 181.8° + 192.7° = 374.5°, one full turn and 14.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 00:13 Fri, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna ended at 21:11 Wed, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 07:31.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 18 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 26 Mar 2028, 12:31 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 200° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
