Panchang in Libode, Eastern Cape, South Africa Sat 21 Jun 2025

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 21 Jun only, at 07:03: Sat 21 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:49, before it (05:27–07:03).

Yogini Ekadashi: every date in Libode

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, 07:03 here. Dashami ended at 03:49, before it. Ekadashi ends at 00:58 Sun, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 11 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:23, came before Dashami ended at 07:19: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 04:28 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 07:03, came after Dashami ended at 03:49: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Fri 20 Jun ran from sunset 17:08 Fri to sunrise 07:03, 13 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:03 to 17:08, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:08 to 07:03 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 6°40′. It leaves at 16:20, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 65.9° + 7.7° = 73.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 16:59, then Sukarma.

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 14:25, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 00:58 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:03 to 07:03 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 25 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 25 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 12:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 81.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
