Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 11 Aug 1928

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 11 Aug only, at 06:34: Sat 11 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:53 Fri, before it (04:58–06:34).

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, 06:34 here. Dashami ended at 20:53 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 18:36, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 10 Aug ran from sunset 18:01 Fri to sunrise 06:34, 12 h 33 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:34 to 18:01, 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, 18:01 to 06:33 Sun, 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 60°. It leaves at 16:14, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 115.6° + 60.9° = 176.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 22:37, then Vajra.

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 runs until 07:44, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 18:36.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:34 to 06:33 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 17 Jul 01:35 Tue to 15 Aug 10:48 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 15 Aug 20:49 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 15 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 1928, 17:29 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 137.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1985; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1850.
