Makar Sankranti: every date in Cuenca

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 06:16 on Tue 13 Jan and 06:16 on Wed 14 Jan. Ekadashi (04:48 Tue 13 Jan to 07:23 Wed 14 Jan) and Dwadashi (07:23 Wed 14 Jan to 09:47 Thu 15 Jan) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Wed 14 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Tue 13 Jan Dashami lasts until 04:48, inside it (04:40–06:16); on Wed 14 Jan Ekadashi holds all of it.

Shattila Ekadashi: every date in Cuenca

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, 06:16 here. Dashami ended at 04:48 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:23, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 04:48 Tue, before sunrise at 06:16 Tue, and ends at 07:23, after the next sunrise at 06:16. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 13 Jan ran from sunset 18:32 Tue to sunrise 06:16, 11 h 44 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:16 to 18:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:33 to 06:17 Thu, 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 220°. It leaves at 16:33, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 270.1° + 221.6° = 491.7°, one full turn and 131.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 09:25, then Vriddhi.

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 18:06 Tue, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 07:23.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:16 to 06:17 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 18 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 05:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 285.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
