Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Wed 23 Mar 2050

Ghatasthapana is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Pratipada runs from 08:41 on Wed 23 Mar to 05:28 on Thu 24 Mar, between the two mornings’ pratahkala, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Wed 23 Mar. No text giving Chaitra Navratri · Ghatasthapana’s time was found; pratahkala is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 348°–360° is the 30th, Krishna Amavasya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:49 here. Chaturdashi ended at 12:10 Tue, before it. Amavasya ends at 08:41, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 8 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 08:41 and ended at 05:28 Thu, between the sunrises of 05:49 and 05:49 Thu. Wednesday reads Amavasya and Thursday reads Dwitiya: Pratipada is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:49, came before Amavasya ended at 08:41: this day reads Amavasya. Pratipada ends at 05:28 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Pratipada: it is kshaya.

The night of Tue 22 Mar ran from sunset 17:57 Tue to sunrise 05:49, 11 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:49 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 05:49 Thu, 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′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 333°20′. It leaves at 22:37, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 337.9° + 336.2° = 674.1°, one full turn and 314.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 14:39, then Brahma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Amavasya is Chatushpada and the second Nagava. Chatushpada ended at 22:24 Tue, when the lead reached 354°; Nagava runs until 08:41.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:49 to 05:49 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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 23 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2050, 08:41. Since then the Sun has moved -0.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2107; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1972.
