Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sun 12 Sep 1993

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 12 Sep only, at 06:16: Sun 12 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:19 Sat, before it (04:40–06:16).

Parama 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 23:19 Sat, before it. Ekadashi ends at 21:35, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 11 Sep ran from sunset 18:35 Sat to sunrise 06:16, 11 h 41 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 Mon, 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 13:24, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 145.5° + 89.2° = 234.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 14:48, 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 10:33, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 21:35.

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

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Aug 00:58 Wed to 16 Sep 08:40 Thu the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 16 Sep 20:58 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) here, and Bhadrapada (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 1993, 12:44 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 166.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2050; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1915.
