Amavasya: every date in Thazhecode

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, 06:02 here. Chaturdashi ended at 04:36, before it. Amavasya ends at 07:08 Mon, when the lead reaches 360°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 8 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 04:36, before sunrise at 06:02, and ends at 07:08 Mon, after the next sunrise at 06:01 Mon. Both days read Amavasya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 21 May ran from sunset 18:43 Sat to sunrise 06:02, 11 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:02 to 18:43, 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, 18:43 to 06:01 Mon, 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 23°20′. It leaves at 09:17, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 36.4° + 25.1° = 61.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 15:46, then Atiganda.

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 runs until 17:51, when the lead reaches 354°; Nagava until 07:08 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:02 to 06:01 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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2039, 23:29 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 56.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2096; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1961.
