Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Mon 3 Jun 2024

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 3 Jun only, at 04:53: Mon 3 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 07:35 Sun, before it (03:17–04:53).

Apara Ekadashi: every date in Baoding

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, 04:53 here. Dashami ended at 07:35 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 05:11, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 23 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 05:11 and ended at 02:49 Tue, between the sunrises of 04:53 and 04:53 Tue. Monday reads Ekadashi and Tuesday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:23, came after Ekadashi ended at 02:41: this day reads Dwadashi.

Baoding · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 04:53, came before Ekadashi ended at 05:11: this day reads Ekadashi. Dwadashi ends at 02:49 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwadashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Sun 2 Jun ran from sunset 19:38 Sun to sunrise 04:53, 9 h 15 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:53 to 19:38, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:38 to 04:53 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 02:34 Tue, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 48.6° + 0.4° = 49°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 11:40, then Shobhana.

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 ended at 18:23 Sun, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 05:11.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:53 to 04:53 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Jun, 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 6 Jun, 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: 9 Apr 2024, 02:20 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 53.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
