Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 28 Nov 1914

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:28 on Fri 27 Nov and 05:28 on Sat 28 Nov. Ekadashi (03:04 Fri 27 Nov to 05:34 Sat 28 Nov) and Dwadashi (05:34 Sat 28 Nov to 08:10 Sun 29 Nov) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Sat 28 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: over two sunrises, they too fast on the second.

Mokshada 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, 05:28 here. Dashami ended at 03:04 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 05:34, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 03:04 Fri, before sunrise at 05:28 Fri, and ends at 05:34, after the next sunrise at 05:28. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 27 Nov ran from sunset 18:32 Fri to sunrise 05:28, 10 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:28 to 18:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 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 05:28 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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 3 at 353°20′. It leaves at 16:30, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 222.6° + 354.6° = 577.2°, one full turn and 217.2°. 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 23:13, 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 ended at 16:18 Fri, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 05:34.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:28 to 05:28 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 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 17 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: 26 Mar 1914, 15:08 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 240° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1971; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1836.
