Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 16 Feb 2008

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 08:17 on Sat 16 Feb, after that sunrise (07:07), and ends at 05:22 on Sun 17 Feb, before the next (06:07 Sun): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sat 16 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, 07:07 here. Navami ended at 10:20 Fri, before it. Dashami ends at 08:17, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 08:17 and ended at 05:22 Sun, between the sunrises of 07:07 and 06:07 Sun. Saturday reads Dashami and Sunday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 15 Feb ran from sunset 19:47 Fri to sunrise 07:07, 11 h 20 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:07 to 19:46, 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, 19:46 to 06:07 Sun, 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 60°. It leaves at 14:17, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 303.1° + 62.5° = 365.6°, one full turn and 5.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 19:29, then Priti.

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 21:18 Fri, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 08:17.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:07 to 06:07 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 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 7 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: 18 Mar 2007, 23:42 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 328.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2064; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1929.
