Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Tue 9 Mar 2021

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 9 Mar only, at 06:15: Tue 9 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 07:14 Mon, before it (04:39–06:15).

Vijaya 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, 06:15 here. Dashami ended at 07:14 Mon, before it. Ekadashi ends at 06:32, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 06:32 and ended at 06:10 Wed, between the sunrises of 06:15 and 06:14 Wed. Tuesday reads Ekadashi and Wednesday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 8 Mar ran from sunset 18:25 Mon to sunrise 06:15, 11 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 18:24, 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, 18:24 to 06:14 Wed, 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 276°40′. It leaves at 12:11, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 324.9° + 276.7° = 601.6°, one full turn and 241.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 02:05 Wed, then Shiva.

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 18:51 Mon, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 06:32.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:14 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 13 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2020, 06:28 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 344.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
