Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sat 27 Jul 1901

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 27 Jul only, at 05:54: Sat 27 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 13:20 Fri, before it (04:18–05:54).

Padmini Ekadashi: every date in Pāthardi

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, 05:54 here. Dashami ended at 13:20 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 15:07, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 26 Jul ran from sunset 18:58 Fri to sunrise 05:54, 10 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:54 to 18:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:58 to 05:55 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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 04:27 Sun, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 100.8° + 228.5° = 329.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 13:21, 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 02:17, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 15:07.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:54 to 05:55 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 16 Jul 03:31 Tue to 14 Aug 13:48 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 07:14 Fri, 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 16 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: 20 Mar 1901, 18:14 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 124° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1958; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1823.
