Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Tue 21 Oct 2003

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 21 Oct only, at 06:40: Tue 21 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:03 Mon, before it (05:04–06:40).

Rama Ekadashi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 300°–312° is the 26th, Krishna Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:40 here. Dashami ended at 23:03 Mon, before it. Ekadashi ends at 21:50, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 10 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:25, came before Dashami ended at 06:33: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 05:20 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:40, came after Dashami ended at 23:03 Mon: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Mon 20 Oct ran from sunset 19:14 Mon 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 06:39 Wed, 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 126°40′. It leaves at 16:45, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 183.6° + 127.6° = 311.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 21:00, then Brahma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 10:33, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 21:50.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:40 to 06:39 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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, 25 Oct, 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 25 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 1 Apr 2003, 16:18 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 195.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2060; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1925.
