Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 24 Mar 1945

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 06:17 on Fri 23 Mar and 06:17 on Sat 24 Mar. Ekadashi (05:00 Fri 23 Mar to 06:20 Sat 24 Mar) and Dwadashi (06:20 Sat 24 Mar to 08:05 Sun 25 Mar) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Sat 24 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Fri 23 Mar Dashami lasts until 05:00, inside it (04:41–06:17); on Sat 24 Mar Ekadashi holds all of it.

Padmini 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, 06:17 here. Dashami ended at 05:00 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 06:20, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 05:00 Fri, before sunrise at 06:17 Fri, and ends at 06:20, after the next sunrise at 06:17. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 23 Mar ran from sunset 18:21 Fri to sunrise 06:17, 11 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:17 to 18:20, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:20 to 06:17 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 110°. It leaves at 21:29, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 340.3° + 112.3° = 452.6°, one full turn and 92.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 07:42, then Dhriti.

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 17:36 Fri, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 06:20.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:17 to 06:17 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 14 Mar 00:50 Wed to 12 Apr 09:29 Thu the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 06:29 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 14 Mar 1945, 00:50 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 10.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2002; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1867.
