Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 3 Oct 1930

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:54 on Thu 2 Oct and 05:53 on Fri 3 Oct. Ekadashi (05:06 Thu 2 Oct to 07:35 Fri 3 Oct) and Dwadashi (07:35 Fri 3 Oct to 10:02 Sat 4 Oct) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Fri 3 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Thu 2 Oct Dashami lasts until 05:06, inside it (04:18–05:54); on Fri 3 Oct Ekadashi holds all of it.

Papankusha 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, 05:53 here. Dashami ended at 05:06 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:35, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 22 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 05:06 Thu, before sunrise at 05:54 Thu, and ends at 07:35, after the next sunrise at 05:53. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 2 Oct ran from sunset 18:10 Thu to sunrise 05:53, 11 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:53 to 18:10, 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, 18:10 to 05:52 Sat, 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 296°40′. It leaves at 23:53, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 166.5° + 297.8° = 464.3°, one full turn and 104.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 10:18, then Shula.

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 18:20 Thu, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 07:35.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:53 to 05:52 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 16 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 21 Oct, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 22 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 1930, 02:46 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 180.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1987; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1852.
