Panchang in Diffa, Niger Fri 2 Dec 2033

Gita Jayanti follows the tithi at sunrise. Ekadashi runs from 23:16 on Thu 1 Dec to 20:36 on Fri 2 Dec, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 2 Dec, at 06:17. No text giving Gita Jayanti’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Gita Jayanti: every date in Diffa

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 2 Dec only, at 06:17: Fri 2 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:16 Thu, before it (04:41–06:17).

Mokshada Ekadashi: every date in Diffa

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, 06:17 here. Dashami ended at 23:16 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 20:36, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 22 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 1 Dec ran from sunset 17:40 Thu to sunrise 06:17, 12 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:17 to 17:40, 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 night here, 17:40 to 06:17 Sat, 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 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 1 at 346°40′. It leaves at 22:53, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 226° + 349.9° = 575.9°, one full turn and 215.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 22:50, then Variyana.

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 09:58, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 20:36.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:17 to 06:17 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 21 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 22 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 2033, 18:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 240° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2090; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1955.
