Parama 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, 05:35 here. Dashami ended at 19:09 Mon, before it. Ekadashi ends at 17:06, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 12 Oct ran from sunset 17:31 Mon to sunrise 05:35, 12 h 4 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:35 to 17:30, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:30 to 05:35 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 120°. It leaves at 01:24 Wed, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 175.9° + 121.5° = 297.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 20:11, then Shukla.

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 06:13, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 17:06.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:35 to 05:35 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Sep 19:00 Thu to 17 Oct 03:31 Sat the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 09:35 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 17 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2020, 17:28 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 195.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
