Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Fri 12 Aug 1966

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:40 on Fri 12 Aug, after that sunrise (06:08), and ends at 05:17 on Sat 13 Aug, before the next (06:09 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 12 Aug.

Parama 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, 06:08 here. Navami ended at 07:12 Thu, before it. Dashami ends at 06:40, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:40 and ended at 05:17 Sat, between the sunrises of 06:08 and 06:09 Sat. Friday reads Dashami and Saturday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 11 Aug ran from sunset 18:59 Thu to sunrise 06:08, 11 h 9 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 06:09 Sat, 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 02:17 Sat, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 115.5° + 55.2° = 170.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 10:32, then Harshana.

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 19:02 Thu, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 06:40.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:08 to 06:09 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 10:00 Mon to 16 Aug 17:17 Tue the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 22:58 Tue, 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 1966, 10:16 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 137.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2023; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1888.
