Papamochani Ekadashi: every date in Adelebsen

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 300°–312° is the 26th, Krishna Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:54 here. Dashami ended at 21:15 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 23:22, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 1 Apr ran from sunset 19:53 Thu to sunrise 06:54, 11 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:54 to 19:55, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:55 to 06:52 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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 4 at 290°. It leaves at 08:46, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 348° + 292.4° = 640.4°, one full turn and 280.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 06:40 Sat, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 10:22, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 23:22.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:54 to 06:52 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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, 7 Apr, 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 7 Apr, 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: 19 Mar 2026, 02:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 373.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
