Panchang in Libode, Eastern Cape, South Africa Mon 1 Feb 2027

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, 05:29 here. Dashami ended at 05:11, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:40 Tue, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 05:11, before sunrise at 05:29, and ends at 07:40 Tue, after the next sunrise at 05:30 Tue. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 31 Jan ran from sunset 19:05 Sun to sunrise 05:29, 10 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 19:04, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 41 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:04 to 05:30 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 226°40′. It leaves at 05:51 Tue, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 287.8° + 227.9° = 515.7°, one full turn and 155.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 13:26, then Vyaghata.

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 18:24, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 07:40 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:30 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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Feb, 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 6 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 03:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 313.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
