Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Wed 28 Jan 2071

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 08:24 on Wed 28 Jan to 10:54 on Thu 29 Jan, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:49–20:17) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:10 here. Ekadashi ended at 05:47 Tue, before it. Dwadashi ends at 08:24, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 16 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 05:47 Tue, before sunrise at 06:10 Tue, and ends at 08:24, after the next sunrise at 06:10. Both days read Dwadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 27 Jan ran from sunset 17:49 Tue to sunrise 06:10, 12 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:10 to 17:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:49 to 06:10 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 243°20′. It leaves at 20:36, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 283.2° + 246.2° = 529.4°, one full turn and 169.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 13:29, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 19:06 Tue, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 08:24.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:10 to 06:10 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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 15 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 31 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 31 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 2070, 10:31 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 286.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2127; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1992.
