Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 23 Feb 1983

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 23 Feb only, at 06:09: Wed 23 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:56 Tue, before it (04:33–06:09).

Padmini 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, 06:09 here. Dashami ended at 21:56 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 19:13, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 22 Feb ran from sunset 18:43 Tue to sunrise 06:09, 11 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 18:42, 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 night here, 18:42 to 06:10 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 73°20′. It leaves at 14:07, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 310.6° + 75.2° = 385.8°, one full turn and 25.8°. 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 07:35, 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 08:38, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 19:13.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:10 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 12 Feb 21:31 Sat to 14 Mar 14:43 Mon the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 15:44 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna 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 12 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) 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 329.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
