Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Mon 27 Sep 2032

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:36 here. Saptami ended at 04:46 Sun, before it. Ashtami ends at 05:49, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 19 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 04:46 Sun, before sunrise at 05:36 Sun, and ends at 05:49, after the next sunrise at 05:36. Both days read Ashtami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 26 Sep ran from sunset 17:40 Sun to sunrise 05:36, 11 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:36 to 17:39, 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, 17:39 to 05:36 Tue, 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 73°20′. It leaves at 13:33, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 160° + 75.9° = 235.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 12:55, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 17:12 Sun, when the lead reached 270°; Kaulava runs until 05:49.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:36 to 05:36 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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 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 4 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: 10 Apr 2032, 10:39 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 163.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2089; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1954.
