Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Wed 13 Aug 1947

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 13 Aug only, at 06:09: Wed 13 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 09:28 Tue, before it (04:33–06:09).

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, 06:09 here. Dashami ended at 09:28 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 06:42, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 06:42 and ended at 03:30 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:09 and 06:09 Thu. Wednesday reads Ekadashi and Thursday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 12 Aug ran from sunset 18:59 Tue to sunrise 06:09, 11 h 10 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 18:58, 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, 18:58 to 06:09 Thu, 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 66°40′. It leaves at 01:38 Thu, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 116.3° + 68° = 184.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 09:46, then Vajra.

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 ended at 20:09 Tue, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 06:42.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:09 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 09:45 Fri to 16 Aug 16:42 Sat the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 02:12 Sun, 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 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 1947, 22:04 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 138.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2004; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1869.
