Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Wed 25 Jun 2003

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 06:17 on Tue 24 Jun and 06:18 on Wed 25 Jun. Ekadashi (05:11 Tue 24 Jun to 07:46 Wed 25 Jun) and Dwadashi (07:46 Wed 25 Jun to 10:15 Thu 26 Jun) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Wed 25 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Tue 24 Jun Dashami lasts until 05:11, inside it (04:41–06:17); on Wed 25 Jun Ekadashi holds all of it.

Yogini Ekadashi: every date in Davinópolis

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, 06:18 here. Dashami ended at 05:11 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:46, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 05:11 Tue, before sunrise at 06:17 Tue, and ends at 07:46, after the next sunrise at 06:18. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 24 Jun ran from sunset 18:06 Tue to sunrise 06:18, 12 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:18 to 18:06, 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 night here, 18:06 to 06:18 Thu, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 20°. It leaves at 18:06, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 69.5° + 20.9° = 90.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 11:51, then Dhriti.

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 18:28 Tue, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 07:46.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:18 to 06:18 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 29 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 1 Apr 2003, 16:18 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 81.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2060; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1925.
