Padmini Ekadashi: every date in Myjava

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, 05:18 here. Dashami ended at 11:21 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 09:35, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 28 Jul ran from sunset 20:34 Fri to sunrise 05:18, 8 h 44 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:18 to 20:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 54 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:32 to 05:19 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 5 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 2 at 230°. It leaves at 20:04, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 101.6° + 231.3° = 332.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 06:03, then Indra.

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 22:34 Fri, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 09:35.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:18 to 05:19 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 20:31 Mon to 16 Aug 11:38 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 10:02 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana itself.

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 17 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 18:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 125° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
