Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sat 4 Mar 2084

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 07:04 on Sat 4 Mar to 04:51 on Sun 5 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (17:57–20:21) 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, 05:59 here. Ekadashi ended at 09:22 Fri, before it. Dwadashi ends at 07:04, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Trayodashi began at 07:04 and ended at 04:51 Sun, between the sunrises of 05:59 and 05:59 Sun. Saturday reads Dwadashi and Sunday reads Chaturdashi: Trayodashi is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:59, came before Dwadashi ended at 07:04: this day reads Dwadashi. Trayodashi ends at 04:51 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Trayodashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Fri 3 Mar ran from sunset 17:57 Fri to sunrise 05:59, 12 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:59 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 05:59 Sun, 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 00:01 Sun, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 319.2° + 282.6° = 601.8°, one full turn and 241.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 00:03 Sun, then Shiva.

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 20:13 Fri, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 07:04.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:59 to 05:59 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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 14 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 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 7 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: 18 Mar 2083, 17:58 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 346.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2140; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2005.
