Panchang in Diffa, Niger Tue 13 Jun 2023

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 13 Jun only, at 05:42: Tue 13 Jun.

Yogini Ekadashi: every date in Diffa

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, 05:42 here. Dashami ended at 04:59, before it. Ekadashi ends at 04:18 Wed, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 4 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 12 Jun ran from sunset 18:36 Mon to sunrise 05:42, 11 h 6 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:42 to 18:36, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:36 to 05:42 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 356°40′. It leaves at 09:02, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 57.8° + 358.1° = 415.9°, one full turn and 55.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 23:47, then Atiganda.

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 runs until 16:36, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 04:18 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:42 to 05:42 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 18 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 18:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 81.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
