Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 28 Oct 1952

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:42 on Tue 28 Oct, after that sunrise (05:35), and ends at 05:18 on Wed 29 Oct, before the next (05:35 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 28 Oct.

Dev Uthani Ekadashi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:35 here. Navami ended at 09:59 Mon, before it. Dashami ends at 07:42, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:42 and ended at 05:18 Wed, between the sunrises of 05:35 and 05:35 Wed. Tuesday reads Dashami and Wednesday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 27 Oct ran from sunset 18:17 Mon to sunrise 05:35, 11 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:35 to 18:17, 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 night here, 18:17 to 05:35 Wed, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 310°. It leaves at 21:30, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 191.7° + 310.5° = 502.2°, one full turn and 142.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 12:38, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 20:52 Mon, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 07:42.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:35 to 05:35 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 15 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 18 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1952, 18:12 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 209.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2009; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1874.
