Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Wed 27 Jan 1999

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:10 on Wed 27 Jan, after that sunrise (07:04), and ends at 04:52 on Thu 28 Jan, before the next (07:04 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 27 Jan.

Jaya Ekadashi: every date in Pāthardi

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:04 here. Navami ended at 09:27 Tue, before it. Dashami ends at 07:10, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:10 and ended at 04:52 Thu, between the sunrises of 07:04 and 07:04 Thu. Wednesday reads Dashami and Thursday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

Pāthardi · IST

Sunrise here, 07:04, came before Dashami ended at 07:10: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 04:52 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Tue 26 Jan ran from sunset 18:18 Tue to sunrise 07:04, 12 h 46 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:04 to 18:18, 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, 18:18 to 07:04 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 40°. It leaves at 00:50 Thu, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 282.8° + 42.8° = 325.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 19:14, then Indra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 20:19 Tue, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 07:10.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:04 to 07:04 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 1998, 08:43 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 299.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2055; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1920.
