Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 21 Feb 1994

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:09 on Mon 21 Feb, after that sunrise (06:09), and ends at 06:04 on Tue 22 Feb, before the next (06:09 Tue): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Mon 21 Feb.

Jaya Ekadashi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:09 here. Navami ended at 05:23 Sun, before it. Dashami ends at 06:09, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 10 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:09 and ended at 06:04 Tue, between the sunrises of 06:09 and 06:09 Tue. Monday reads Dashami and Tuesday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 05:23 Sun, before sunrise at 06:08 Sun, and ends at 06:09, after the next sunrise at 06:09. Both days read Dashami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 20 Feb ran from sunset 18:44 Sun to sunrise 06:09, 11 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 18:43, 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, 18:43 to 06:09 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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 1 at 66°40′. It leaves at 02:56 Tue, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 308.7° + 68.7° = 377.4°, one full turn and 17.4°. 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 21:57, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 17:52 Sun, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 06:09.

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

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 12 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 10 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 1993, 04:14 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 329.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2050; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1915.
