Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sat 11 Aug 1928

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 11 Aug only, at 06:08: Sat 11 Aug.

Parama Ekadashi: every date in Pāthardi

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, 06:08 here. Dashami ended at 05:23, before it. Ekadashi ends at 03:06 Sun, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 10 Aug ran from sunset 19:00 Fri to sunrise 06:08, 11 h 8 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:08 to 18:59, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:59 to 06:08 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 53°20′. It leaves at 00:44 Sun, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 115.2° + 55.6° = 170.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 10:01, then Harshana.

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 16:14, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 03:06 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:08 to 06:08 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 17 Jul 10:05 Tue to 15 Aug 19:18 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 05:19 Thu, 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 15 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 1928, 01:59 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 137.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1985; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1850.
