Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Tue 26 Nov 1929

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:51 on Tue 26 Nov, after that sunrise (06:42), and ends at 06:39 on Wed 27 Nov, before the next (06:43 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 26 Nov.

Utpanna Ekadashi: every date in Pāthardi

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:42 here. Navami ended at 07:34 Mon, before it. Dashami ends at 06:51, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 17 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:51 and ended at 06:39 Wed, between the sunrises of 06:42 and 06:43 Wed. Tuesday reads Dashami and Wednesday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

Pāthardi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:42, came before Dashami ended at 06:51: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 06:39 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Mon 25 Nov ran from sunset 17:49 Mon to sunrise 06:42, 12 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:42 to 17:49, 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 night here, 17:49 to 06:43 Wed, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 160°. It leaves at 06:27 Wed, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 220.4° + 160.4° = 380.8°, one full turn and 20.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 16:39, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 19:09 Mon, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 06:51.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:42 to 06:43 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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, 1 Dec, 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 1 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 10 Apr 1929, 02:02 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 223.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1986; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1851.
