Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sat 31 Mar 2029

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, 05:44 here. Purnima ended at 10:26 Fri, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:28, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 06:28 and ended at 02:41 Sun, between the sunrises of 05:44 and 05:44 Sun. Saturday reads Pratipada and Sunday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 06:12, came after Pratipada ended at 03:58: this day reads Dwitiya.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:44, came before Pratipada ended at 06:28: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 02:41 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

The night of Fri 30 Mar ran from sunset 17:57 Fri to sunrise 05:44, 11 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:44 to 17:57, 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, 17:57 to 05:44 Sun, 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 176°40′. It leaves at 19:44, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 346.2° + 177.8° = 524°, one full turn and 164°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 19:34, then Harshana.

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 20:27 Fri, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 06:28.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:44 to 05:44 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 12:19 Thu to 14 Apr 05:40 Sat the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 06:24 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra itself.

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 14 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 12:19 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 15.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
