Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 24 Apr 1991

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 24 Apr only, at 06:24: Wed 24 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:12 Tue, before it (04:48–06:24).

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, 06:24 here. Dashami ended at 18:12 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 17:24, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 23 Apr ran from sunset 17:58 Tue to sunrise 06:24, 12 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 17:57, 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 night here, 17:57 to 06:24 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 133°20′. It leaves at 01:06 Thu, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 10° + 136.3° = 146.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 07:04, then Dhruva.

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 05:45, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 17:24.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:24 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 14 Apr 16:37 Sun to 14 May 01:35 Tue the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 14 May 22:25 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 14 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 1991, 05:10 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 38.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2048; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1913.
