Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 9 May 1953

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 9 May only, at 06:28: Sat 9 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:42 Fri, before it (04:52–06:28).

Parama 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, 06:28 here. Dashami ended at 15:42 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 12:59, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 8 May ran from sunset 17:50 Fri to sunrise 06:28, 12 h 38 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:28 to 17:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:49 to 06:28 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 333°20′. It leaves at 04:04 Sun, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 25.2° + 333.6° = 358.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 08:20, then Vishkambha.

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 02:22, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 12:59.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:28 to 06:28 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 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 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) here, and Vaishakha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 53.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2010; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1875.
