Panchang in Myshkin, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia Thu 24 Nov 2016

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 24 Nov only, at 08:31: Thu 24 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:55, before it (06:55–08:31).

Utpanna Ekadashi: every date in Myshkin

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, 08:31 here. Dashami ended at 02:55, before it. Ekadashi ends at 05:11 Fri, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 23 Nov ran from sunset 15:55 Wed to sunrise 08:31, 16 h 36 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 6 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:31 to 15:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 55 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 15:53 to 08:33 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 160°. It leaves at 09:35 Fri, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 218.3° + 160.8° = 379.1°, one full turn and 19.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 22:28, then Ayushmana.

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 16:01, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 05:11 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:31 to 08:33 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 29 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2016, 14:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 224.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
