Panchang in Olean, New York, United States Sun 16 Dec 2029

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 07:35 on Sat 15 Dec and 07:35 on Sun 16 Dec. Ekadashi (06:10 Sat 15 Dec to 08:48 Sun 16 Dec) and Dwadashi (08:48 Sun 16 Dec to 11:25 Mon 17 Dec) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Sun 16 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Sat 15 Dec Dashami lasts until 06:10, inside it (05:59–07:35); on Sun 16 Dec Ekadashi holds all of it.

Mokshada Ekadashi: every date in Olean

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, 07:35 here. Dashami ended at 06:10 Sat, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:48, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:10 Sat, before sunrise at 07:35 Sat, and ends at 08:48, after the next sunrise at 07:35. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 15 Dec ran from sunset 16:42 Sat to sunrise 07:35, 14 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 59 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:35 to 16:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:43 to 07:36 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 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 4 at 10°. It leaves at 10:15, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 240.6° + 12° = 252.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 09:00, then Shiva.

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 19:28 Sat, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 08:48.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:35 to 07:36 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 5 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 00:19 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 270° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
