Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Thu 25 Jan 1968

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:56 on Thu 25 Jan, after that sunrise (07:05), and ends at 05:42 on Fri 26 Jan, before the next (07:05 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 25 Jan.

Shattila 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, 07:05 here. Navami ended at 10:06 Wed, before it. Dashami ends at 07:56, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 15 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:56 and ended at 05:42 Fri, between the sunrises of 07:05 and 07:05 Fri. Thursday reads Dashami and Friday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Wed 24 Jan ran from sunset 18:16 Wed to sunrise 07:05, 12 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:05 to 18:17, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:17 to 07:05 Fri, 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 220°. It leaves at 17:52, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 280.7° + 220.3° = 501°, one full turn and 141°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 16:00, then Dhruva.

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 21:01 Wed, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 07:56.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:05 to 07:05 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 29 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 10 Apr 1967, 03:50 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 284.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2024; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1889.
