Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Mon 13 Sep 1982

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 13 Sep only, at 06:16: Mon 13 Sep.

Indira 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, 06:16 here. Dashami ended at 05:18, before it. Ekadashi ends at 02:51 Tue, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 12 Sep ran from sunset 18:34 Sun to sunrise 06:16, 11 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:16 to 18:34, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:34 to 06:16 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 86°40′. It leaves at 17:09, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 146.3° + 86.8° = 233.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 17:02, then Parigha.

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 16:05, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 02:51 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:16 to 06:16 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Sep, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 17 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina here, and Bhadrapada in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1982, 15:47 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 165.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
