Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Mon 16 Mar 2015

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 16 Mar only, at 06:15: Mon 16 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:08 Sun, before it (04:39–06:15).

Papamochani 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, 06:15 here. Dashami ended at 23:08 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 20:31, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 5 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:30, came before Dashami ended at 07:38: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 05:01 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:15, came after Dashami ended at 23:08 Sun: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Sun 15 Mar ran from sunset 18:27 Sun to sunrise 06:15, 11 h 48 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:15 to 18:26, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:26 to 06:15 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 273°20′. It leaves at 13:58, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 331.4° + 275.3° = 606.7°, one full turn and 246.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 16:29, then Shiva.

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 09:54, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 20:31.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:15 to 06:15 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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 20 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 2014, 15:44 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 345.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2071; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1936.
