Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Wed 21 Jun 2034

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:26 here. Chaturthi ended at 09:00 Tue, before it. Panchami ends at 08:25, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 20 Jun ran from sunset 18:10 Tue to sunrise 05:26, 11 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:26 to 18:11, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:11 to 05:27 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 123°20′. It leaves at 23:10, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 65.3° + 123.8° = 189.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 00:20 Thu, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 20:36 Tue, when the lead reached 54°; Balava runs until 08:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:26 to 05:27 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 18:25 Fri to 16 Jul 02:15 Sun the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 03:17 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 16 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2034, 18:14 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 89.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2091; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1956.
