Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 14 Oct only, at 05:49: Wed 14 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:12 Tue, before it (04:13–05:49).

Papankusha 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, 05:49 here. Dashami ended at 18:12 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 17:43, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 3 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 13 Oct ran from sunset 18:02 Tue to sunrise 05:49, 11 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:49 to 18:02, 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, 18:02 to 05:48 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 300°. It leaves at 13:40, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 176.4° + 302.3° = 478.7°, one full turn and 118.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 07:55, then Ganda.

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 06:03, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 17:43.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:49 to 05:48 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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 3 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2043, 16:06 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 181° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2100; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1965.
