Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Mon 26 Mar 2029

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 26 Mar only, at 05:47: Mon 26 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:07, before it (04:11–05:47).

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, 05:47 here. Dashami ended at 02:07, before it. Ekadashi ends at 00:06 Tue, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sun 25 Mar ran from sunset 17:57 Sun to sunrise 05:47, 11 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:47 to 17:57, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:57 to 05:47 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 100°. It leaves at 11:40, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 341.3° + 103.2° = 444.5°, one full turn and 84.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 19:52, then Dhriti.

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 13:12, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 00:06 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:47 to 05:47 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 12:19 Thu to 14 Apr 05:40 Sat the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 06:24 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 12:19 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 10.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
