Panchang in Diffa, Niger Fri 12 Sep 2031

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 12 Sep only, at 05:58: Fri 12 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 11:11 Thu, before it (04:22–05:58).

Parama 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, 05:58 here. Dashami ended at 11:11 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 13:36, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 11 Sep ran from sunset 18:13 Thu to sunrise 05:58, 11 h 45 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:58 to 18:13, 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, 18:13 to 05:58 Sat, 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 93°20′. It leaves at 08:28 Sat, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 145° + 93.5° = 238.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 08:54, then Parigha.

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 00:25, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 13:36.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:58 to 05:58 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Aug 05:32 Mon to 16 Sep 19:46 Tue the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 17 Sep 10:19 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) here, and Bhadrapada (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 04:49 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 167° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
