Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 4 Jan 1951

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 4 Jan only, at 06:42: Thu 4 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 10:41 Wed, before it (05:06–06:42).

Saphala 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, 06:42 here. Dashami ended at 10:41 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:54, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 07:54 and ended at 04:41 Fri, between the sunrises of 06:42 and 06:43 Fri. Thursday reads Ekadashi and Friday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Wed 3 Jan ran from sunset 19:52 Wed to sunrise 06:42, 10 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:42 to 19:52, 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, 19:52 to 06:43 Fri, 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 210°. It leaves at 09:58, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 260° + 211.3° = 471.3°, one full turn and 111.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 19:50, then Ganda.

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 21:21 Wed, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 07:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:42 to 06:43 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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, 7 Jan, 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 7 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, begins Pausha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Pausha here, and Margashirsha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 1950, 13:20 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 285.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2007; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1872.
