Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 21 Dec 2072

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:34 on Tue 20 Dec and 05:35 on Wed 21 Dec. Ekadashi (04:35 Tue 20 Dec to 05:54 Wed 21 Dec) and Dwadashi (05:54 Wed 21 Dec to 06:29 Thu 22 Dec) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Wed 21 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Tue 20 Dec Dashami lasts until 04:35, inside it (03:58–05:34); on Wed 21 Dec Ekadashi holds all of it.

Mokshada 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, 05:35 here. Dashami ended at 04:35 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 05:54, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 04:35 Tue, before sunrise at 05:34 Tue, and ends at 05:54, after the next sunrise at 05:35. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 20 Dec ran from sunset 18:46 Tue to sunrise 05:35, 10 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:35 to 18:47, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:47 to 05:35 Thu, 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 2 at 16°40′. It leaves at 23:19, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 245.4° + 17.3° = 262.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 12:29, then Siddha.

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 17:20 Tue, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 05:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:35 to 05:35 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 9 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2072, 17:22 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 270.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2129; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1994.
