Panchang in Devadurga, Karnataka Sun 1 Oct 2017

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 1 Oct only, at 06:12: Sun 1 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:36, before it (04:36–06:12).

Papankusha Ekadashi: every date in Devadurga

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, 06:12 here. Dashami ended at 01:36, before it. Ekadashi ends at 02:44 Mon, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 30 Sep ran from sunset 18:12 Sat to sunrise 06:12, 12 h 0 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:12 to 18:11, 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, 18:11 to 06:12 Mon, 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 283°20′. It leaves at 20:09, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 163.9° + 286.1° = 450°, one full turn and 90°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 12:06, then Dhriti.

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 14:15, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 02:44 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:12 to 06:12 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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, 20 Oct, 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 20 Sep, 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: 28 Mar 2017, 08:27 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 180.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
