Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Wed 17 Dec 2031

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:57 here. Dwitiya ended at 10:25 Tue, before it. Tritiya ends at 07:01, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 07:01 and ended at 03:49 Thu, between the sunrises of 05:57 and 05:58 Thu. Wednesday reads Tritiya and Thursday reads Panchami: Chaturthi is a kshaya tithi here.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:57, came before Tritiya ended at 07:01: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 03:49 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

The night of Tue 16 Dec ran from sunset 17:28 Tue to sunrise 05:57, 12 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:57 to 17:28, 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, 17:28 to 05:58 Thu, 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 273°20′. It leaves at 12:41, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 240.4° + 275.8° = 516.2°, one full turn and 156.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 11:36, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 20:42 Tue, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 07:01.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:57 to 05:58 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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Jan, 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 14 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 11:49 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 262.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
