Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 23 Feb 1907

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 23 Feb only, at 06:03: Sat 23 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:52 Fri, before it (04:27–06:03).

Padmini Ekadashi: every date in Ipameri

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, 06:09 here. Dashami ended at 19:58 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 22:25, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 22 Feb ran from sunset 18:43 Fri to sunrise 06:09, 11 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 18:42, 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, 18:42 to 06:10 Sun, 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 73°20′. It leaves at 14:53, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 311.1° + 75.7° = 386.8°, one full turn and 26.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 06:45 Sun, then Saubhagya.

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 09:14, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 22:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:10 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 12 Feb 14:42 Tue to 14 Mar 03:04 Thu the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 03:59 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna 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 12 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 1906, 20:51 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 330.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1963; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1828.
