Panchang in Deva, Hunedoara County, Romania Sun 12 Jul 2015

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 12 Jul only, at 05:49: Sun 12 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 07:08 Sat, before it (04:13–05:49).

Parama Ekadashi: every date in Deva

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, 05:49 here. Dashami ended at 07:08 Sat, before it. Ekadashi ends at 05:53, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 05:53 and ended at 04:56 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:49 and 05:50 Mon. Sunday reads Ekadashi and Monday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 11 Jul ran from sunset 21:18 Sat to sunrise 05:49, 8 h 31 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:49 to 21:17, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 56 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:17 to 05:50 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 4 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 36°40′. It leaves at 10:30, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 85.4° + 37.4° = 122.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 23:24, 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 18:28 Sat, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 05:53.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:49 to 05:50 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 17:05 Tue to 16 Jul 04:24 Thu the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 01:32 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha itself.

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 16 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 11:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 110° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
