Saphala 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, 06:52 here. Dashami ended at 18:58 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 21:20, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 10 Dec ran from sunset 17:51 Tue to sunrise 06:52, 13 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:52 to 17:52, 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 night here, 17:52 to 06:52 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 180°. It leaves at 19:36, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 234.9° + 180.3° = 415.2°, one full turn and 55.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 04:03 Thu, then Atiganda.

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 08:07, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 21:20.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:52 to 06:52 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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 16 Nov and Dhanu on 16 Dec, both inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, begins Pausha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Pausha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1963, 17:39 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 254.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2020; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1885.
