Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Thu 2 Dec 2010

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 2 Dec only, at 05:49: Thu 2 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 11:02 Wed, before it (04:13–05:49).

Utpanna Ekadashi: every date in Codcod

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, 05:49 here. Dashami ended at 11:02 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:45, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 1 Dec ran from sunset 17:22 Wed to sunrise 05:49, 12 h 27 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:49 to 17:23, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:23 to 05:50 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 173°20′. It leaves at 23:52, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 225.6° + 176° = 401.6°, one full turn and 41.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 00:23 Fri, 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 21:54 Wed, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 08:45.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:49 to 05:50 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2010, 05:01 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 254.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2067; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1932.
