Panchang in Myshkin, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia Fri 12 Jul 2019

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 12 Jul only, at 03:42: Fri 12 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:32 Thu, before it (02:06–03:42).

Devshayani Ekadashi: every date in Myshkin

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, 03:42 here. Dashami ended at 22:32 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 22:01, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 2 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 11 Jul ran from sunset 21:20 Thu to sunrise 03:42, 6 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 25 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 03:42 to 21:19, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 12 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:19 to 03:44 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 48 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 206°40′. It leaves at 13:26, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 85.3° + 208° = 293.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 03:50, then Shubha.

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 runs until 10:13, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 22:01.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 03:42 to 03:44 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 17 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 2 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 5 Apr 2019, 11:50 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 94.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2076; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1941.
