Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Wed 6 Jul 1983

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:00 on Wed 6 Jul, after that sunrise (05:56), and ends at 04:47 on Thu 7 Jul, before the next (05:56 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 6 Jul.

Yogini 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, 05:56 here. Navami ended at 06:26 Tue, before it. Dashami ends at 06:00, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 25 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:00 and ended at 04:47 Thu, between the sunrises of 05:56 and 05:56 Thu. Wednesday reads Dashami and Thursday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 5 Jul ran from sunset 19:11 Tue to sunrise 05:56, 10 h 45 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:56 to 19:11, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:11 to 05:56 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 16°40′. It leaves at 18:14, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 79.8° + 19.7° = 99.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 17:48, then Shula.

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 18:19 Tue, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 06:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:56 to 05:56 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 10 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 13 Apr 1983, 13:28 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 80.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2040; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1905.
