Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 22 Jul 1953

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 22 Jul only, at 06:42: Wed 22 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:35 Tue, before it (05:06–06:42).

Devshayani 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, 06:42 here. Dashami ended at 16:35 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 16:27, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 10 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 21 Jul ran from sunset 17:55 Tue to sunrise 06:42, 12 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:42 to 17:55, 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, 17:55 to 06:42 Thu, 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 220°. It leaves at 13:12, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 96.1° + 223.1° = 319.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 08:06, then Brahma.

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 04:37, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 16:27.

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

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 15 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 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 10 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha 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 124.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2010; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1875.
