Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 29 Jul 1951

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 29 Jul only, at 06:40: Sun 29 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 08:18 Sat, before it (05:04–06:40).

Kamika 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, 06:40 here. Dashami ended at 08:18 Sat, before it. Ekadashi ends at 10:38, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 18 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 28 Jul ran from sunset 17:57 Sat to sunrise 06:40, 12 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:40 to 17:57, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:57 to 06:40 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 50°. It leaves at 08:24, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 102.3° + 52.5° = 154.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 16:28, then Vyaghata.

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 21:27 Sat, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 10:38.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:40 to 06:40 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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 2 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 2 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 1951, 07:51 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 109.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2008; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1873.
