Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Thu 3 Aug 2017

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 06:19 on Wed 2 Aug and 06:19 on Thu 3 Aug. Ekadashi (05:44 Wed 2 Aug to 08:07 Thu 3 Aug) and Dwadashi (08:07 Thu 3 Aug to 10:22 Fri 4 Aug) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Thu 3 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Wed 2 Aug Dashami lasts until 05:44, inside it (04:43–06:19); on Thu 3 Aug Ekadashi holds all of it.

Shravana Putrada Ekadashi: every date in Davinópolis

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, 06:19 here. Dashami ended at 05:44 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:07, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 23 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 05:44 Wed, before sunrise at 06:19 Wed, and ends at 08:07, after the next sunrise at 06:19. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 2 Aug ran from sunset 18:12 Wed to sunrise 06:19, 12 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:19 to 18:12, 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, 18:12 to 06:18 Fri, 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 236°40′. It leaves at 09:43, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 107.1° + 238.3° = 345.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 08:35, then Vaidhriti.

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 ended at 18:56 Wed, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 08:07.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:19 to 06:18 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 21 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 23 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 2017, 23:57 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 123.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
