Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 20 Oct 1999

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 20 Oct only, at 06:40: Wed 20 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:52, before it (05:04–06:40).

Papankusha 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, 06:40 here. Dashami ended at 03:52, before it. Ekadashi ends at 03:36 Thu, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 19 Oct ran from sunset 19:14 Tue to sunrise 06:40, 11 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:40 to 19:14, 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, 19:14 to 06:40 Thu, 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 303°20′. It leaves at 11:29, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 182.7° + 304.1° = 486.8°, one full turn and 126.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 17:58, then Vriddhi.

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 15:50, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 03:36 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:40 to 06:40 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 9 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1999, 15:47 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 209.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2056; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1921.
