Panchang in Diffa, Niger Sun 9 Aug 2026

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 9 Aug only, at 05:56: Sun 9 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 09:29 Sat, before it (04:20–05:56).

Kamika 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, 05:56 here. Dashami ended at 09:29 Sat, before it. Ekadashi ends at 06:35, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 06:35 and ended at 03:31 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:56 and 05:56 Mon. Sunday reads Ekadashi and Monday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 8 Aug ran from sunset 18:34 Sat to sunrise 05:56, 11 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:56 to 18:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:33 to 05:56 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 63°20′. It leaves at 10:13, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 112.4° + 64° = 176.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 21:34, then Vajra.

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 20:04 Sat, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 06:35.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:56 to 05:56 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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 12 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 12 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 02:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 138.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
