Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 29 Dec 2017

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 29 Dec only, at 06:39: Fri 29 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:46 Thu, before it (05:03–06:39).

Pausha Putrada 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, 06:39 here. Dashami ended at 16:46 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 14:24, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 28 Dec ran from sunset 19:49 Thu to sunrise 06:39, 10 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:39 to 19:50, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:50 to 06:40 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 20°. It leaves at 15:26, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 253.7° + 21.4° = 275.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 14:16, then Sadhya.

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 ended at 03:40, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 14:24.

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

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 18 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 2017, 23:57 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 270.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
