Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 4 Dec 1927

Gita Jayanti follows the tithi at sunrise. Ekadashi begins at 06:02 on Sun 4 Dec, after that sunrise, and ends at 03:12 on Mon 5 Dec, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Sun 4 Dec. No text giving Gita Jayanti’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:02 on Sun 4 Dec, after that sunrise (05:29), and ends at 03:12 on Mon 5 Dec, before the next (05:29 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 4 Dec.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:29 here. Navami ended at 08:29 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 06:02, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 24 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:02 and ended at 03:12 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:29 and 05:29 Mon. Sunday reads Dashami and Monday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 3 Dec ran from sunset 18:36 Sat to sunrise 05:29, 10 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 18:36, 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, 18:36 to 05:29 Mon, 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 1 at 346°40′. It leaves at 01:08 Mon, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 228.4° + 348° = 576.4°, one full turn and 216.4°. 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 21:17, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 19:18 Sat, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 06:02.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:29 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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, 24 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 24 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: 2 Apr 1927, 01:24 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 239.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1984; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1849.
