Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 22 Jun 1972

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 06:42 on Wed 21 Jun and 06:42 on Thu 22 Jun. Ekadashi (05:51 Wed 21 Jun to 08:14 Thu 22 Jun) and Dwadashi (08:14 Thu 22 Jun to 10:32 Fri 23 Jun) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Thu 22 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Wed 21 Jun Dashami lasts until 05:51, inside it (05:06–06:42); on Thu 22 Jun Ekadashi holds all of it.

Nirjala 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 05:51 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:14, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 11 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 05:51 Wed, before sunrise at 06:42 Wed, and ends at 08:14, after the next sunrise at 06:42. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 21 Jun ran from sunset 17:46 Wed to sunrise 06:42, 12 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:42 to 17:46, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:46 to 06:42 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 196°40′. It leaves at 08:57, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 67.6° + 198.9° = 266.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 07:04, then Siddha.

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 19:02 Wed, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 08:14.

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

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 14 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 11 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 1972, 08:34 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 96.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2029; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1894.
