Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Fri 25 May 2018

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 25 May only, at 05:24: Fri 25 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:48 Thu, before it (03:48–05:24).

Padmini Ekadashi: every date in Codcod

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, 05:24 here. Dashami ended at 20:48 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 20:17, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 24 May ran from sunset 18:03 Thu to sunrise 05:24, 11 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:24 to 18:04, 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, 18:04 to 05:24 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 22:28, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 39.5° + 164° = 203.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 22:05, then Vyatipata.

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 runs until 08:30, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 20:17.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:24 to 05:24 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 May 19:47 Tue to 14 Jun 03:43 Thu the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 14:06 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.

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 15 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2018, 21:11 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 66.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2075; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1940.
