Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 24 Apr 1953

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 24 Apr only, at 06:24: Fri 24 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:35 Thu, before it (04:48–06:24).

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, 06:24 here. Dashami ended at 15:35 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 18:10, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 23 Apr ran from sunset 17:58 Thu to sunrise 06:24, 12 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 17:57, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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 06:24 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 136°40′. It leaves at 01:15 Sat, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 10.7° + 137.4° = 148.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 04:46 Sat, then Vyaghata.

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 04:53, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 18:10.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:24 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 13 Apr 17:08 Mon to 13 May 02:05 Wed the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 14 May 04:41 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 13 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 1953, 08:04 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 39.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2010; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1875.
