Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 15 Aug 2005

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 08:03 on Mon 15 Aug, after that sunrise (06:31), and ends at 05:23 on Tue 16 Aug, before the next (06:31 Tue): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Mon 15 Aug.

Shravana Putrada 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, 06:31 here. Navami ended at 10:03 Sun, before it. Dashami ends at 08:03, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 08:03 and ended at 05:23 Tue, between the sunrises of 06:31 and 06:31 Tue. Monday reads Dashami and Tuesday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 14 Aug ran from sunset 18:02 Sun to sunrise 06:31, 12 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:31 to 18:02, 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, 18:02 to 06:31 Tue, 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 236°40′. It leaves at 10:06, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 118.7° + 237.9° = 356.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 11:53, then Vishkambha.

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 21:08 Sun, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 08:03.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:31 to 06:31 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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 5 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2005, 17:32 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 123.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2062; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1927.
