Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 12 Oct 2001

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 08:10 on Fri 12 Oct, after that sunrise (05:46), and ends at 05:20 on Sat 13 Oct, before the next (05:45 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 12 Oct.

Parama Ekadashi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:46 here. Navami ended at 10:36 Thu, before it. Dashami ends at 08:10, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 08:10 and ended at 05:20 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:46 and 05:45 Sat. Friday reads Dashami and Saturday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 11 Oct ran from sunset 18:12 Thu to sunrise 05:46, 11 h 34 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:46 to 18:12, 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 night here, 18:12 to 05:45 Sat, 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 113°20′. It leaves at 15:55, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 175.2° + 113.9° = 289.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 12:22, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 21:27 Thu, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 08:10.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:46 to 05:45 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Sep 07:27 Mon to 16 Oct 17:23 Tue the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 02:37 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 16 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2001, 22:21 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 194.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2058; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1923.
