Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 27 Feb 2033

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 23:37 on Sun 27 Feb to 20:07 on Mon 28 Feb, so it touches only Sunday night’s nishitha (23:35–00:23 Mon).

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 02:43 on Sun 27 Feb to 23:37 on Sun 27 Feb, so only Sunday’s pradosha (17:57–20:22) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:02 here. Dwadashi ended at 02:43, before it. Trayodashi ends at 23:37, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 26 Feb ran from sunset 17:57 Sat to sunrise 06:02, 12 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:02 to 17:57, 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 night here, 17:57 to 06:02 Mon, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 280°. It leaves at 03:19 Mon, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 314.3° + 280.2° = 594.5°, one full turn and 234.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 14:27, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 13:14, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 23:37.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:02 to 06:02 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 1 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha 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 317.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2089; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1954.
