Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 9 May 1915

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 9 May only, at 06:28: Sun 9 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:02 Sat, before it (04:52–06:28).

Parama Ekadashi: every date in Ipameri

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, 06:28 here. Dashami ended at 15:02 Sat, before it. Ekadashi ends at 16:18, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 8 May ran from sunset 17:50 Sat to sunrise 06:28, 12 h 38 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:28 to 17:50, 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, 17:50 to 06:28 Mon, 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 330°. It leaves at 08:22, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 25° + 332.4° = 357.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 11:14, then Vishkambha.

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 03:36, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 16:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:28 to 06:28 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Apr 08:35 Wed to 14 May 00:30 Fri the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 14 May 10:42 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 14 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) here, and Vaishakha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 1915, 16:41 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 53.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1972; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1837.
