Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Sat 24 Apr 2010

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 24 Apr only, at 06:24: Sat 24 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:39 Fri, before it (04:48–06:24).

Padmini 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, 06:24 here. Dashami ended at 21:39 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 19:03, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 05:47, came before Dashami ended at 06:09: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 03:33 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:24, came after Dashami ended at 21:39 Fri: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Fri 23 Apr ran from sunset 17:58 Fri to sunrise 06:24, 12 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 17:57, 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, 17:57 to 06:24 Sun, 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 133°20′. It leaves at 01:47 Sun, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 10.1° + 135° = 145.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 08:52, then Dhruva.

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 08:22, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 19:03.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:24 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Apr 09:28 Wed to 13 May 22:04 Thu the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 14 May 19:16 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 14 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2010, 18:01 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 38.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2067; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1932.
