Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 5 Mar 1921

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 06:12 on Fri 4 Mar and 06:13 on Sat 5 Mar. Ekadashi (04:45 Fri 4 Mar to 07:18 Sat 5 Mar) and Dwadashi (07:18 Sat 5 Mar to 09:43 Sun 6 Mar) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Sat 5 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Fri 4 Mar Dashami lasts until 04:45, inside it (04:36–06:12); on Sat 5 Mar Ekadashi holds all of it.

Vijaya 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, 06:13 here. Dashami ended at 04:45 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:18, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 04:45 Fri, before sunrise at 06:12 Fri, and ends at 07:18, after the next sunrise at 06:13. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 4 Mar ran from sunset 18:36 Fri to sunrise 06:13, 11 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:13 to 18:35, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:35 to 06:13 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 270°. It leaves at 20:19, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 321.5° + 273° = 594.5°, one full turn and 234.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 16:25, 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 18:02 Fri, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 07:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:13 to 06:13 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 11 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 9 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 1920, 07:55 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 344.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1977; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1842.
