Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sun 26 Dec 1982

Gita Jayanti follows the tithi at sunrise. Ekadashi runs from 22:32 on Sat 25 Dec to 20:52 on Sun 26 Dec, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 26 Dec, at 05:37. No text giving Gita Jayanti’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Gita Jayanti: every date in Ipameri

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 26 Dec only, at 05:37: Sun 26 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:32 Sat, before it (04:01–05:37).

Mokshada 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, 05:37 here. Dashami ended at 22:32 Sat, before it. Ekadashi ends at 20:52, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 25 Dec ran from sunset 18:48 Sat to sunrise 05:37, 10 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 18:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:49 to 05:38 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 13°20′. It leaves at 02:36 Mon, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 250.6° + 14.4° = 265°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 08:16, 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 runs until 09:48, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 20:52.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:38 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 14 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 15 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1982, 07:17 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 269.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
