Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Fri 13 Aug 2027

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:28 on Thu 12 Aug and 05:29 on Fri 13 Aug. Ekadashi (03:29 Thu 12 Aug to 05:30 Fri 13 Aug) and Dwadashi (05:30 Fri 13 Aug to 07:51 Sat 14 Aug) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Fri 13 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: over two sunrises, they too fast on the second.

Shravana Putrada Ekadashi: every date in Baoding

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 120°–132° is the 11th, Shukla Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:29 here. Dashami ended at 03:29 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 05:30, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 2 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 03:29 Thu, before sunrise at 05:28 Thu, and ends at 05:30, after the next sunrise at 05:29. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 12 Aug ran from sunset 19:17 Thu to sunrise 05:29, 10 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 19:16, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:16 to 05:30 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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 3 at 246°40′. It leaves at 16:49, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 115.7° + 247.7° = 363.4°, one full turn and 3.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 00:00 Sat, then Priti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 16:26 Thu, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 05:30.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:30 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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 2 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 07:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 123° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
