Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sun 5 Nov 1916

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:46 on Sun 5 Nov, after that sunrise (06:31), and ends at 05:11 on Mon 6 Nov, before the next (06:31 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 5 Nov.

Dev Uthani Ekadashi: every date in Pāthardi

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:31 here. Navami ended at 08:29 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 06:46, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 27 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:46 and ended at 05:11 Mon, between the sunrises of 06:31 and 06:31 Mon. Sunday reads Dashami and Monday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 4 Nov ran from sunset 17:54 Sat to sunrise 06:31, 12 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:31 to 17:54, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:54 to 06:31 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 07:26, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 199.6° + 319.5° = 519.1°, one full turn and 159.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 08:02, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 19:36 Sat, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 06:46.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:31 to 06:31 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 15 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 25 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 27 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 2 Apr 1916, 21:50 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 209.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1973; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1838.
