Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 27 Aug 1974

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, 06:23 here. Dashami ended at 04:35, before it. Ekadashi ends at 06:56 Wed, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 04:35, before sunrise at 06:23, and ends at 06:56 Wed, after the next sunrise at 06:23 Wed. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 26 Aug ran from sunset 18:04 Mon to sunrise 06:23, 12 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:23 to 18:04, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:04 to 06:23 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 250°. It leaves at 10:58, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 130.2° + 251.1° = 381.3°, one full turn and 21.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 16:25, then Ayushmana.

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 runs until 17:44, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 06:56 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:23 to 06:23 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Aug 16:01 Sat to 15 Sep 23:45 Sun the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 16 Sep 15:33 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 17 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 1974, 18:23 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 150.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2031; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1896.
