Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sat 2 Jul 2005

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 2 Jul only, at 05:55: Sat 2 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 10:53 Fri, before it (04:19–05:55).

Yogini 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, 05:55 here. Dashami ended at 10:53 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 11:27, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 1 Jul ran from sunset 19:11 Fri to sunrise 05:55, 10 h 44 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:55 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 05:55 Sun, 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 4 at 23°20′. It leaves at 07:54, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 76.3° + 25.6° = 101.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 14:19, then Shula.

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 ended at 23:06 Fri, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 11:27.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:55 to 05:55 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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, 6 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 6 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: 9 Apr 2005, 02:02 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 81.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2062; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1927.
