Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Wed 17 Jun 2020

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:51 on Tue 16 Jun and 05:51 on Wed 17 Jun. Ekadashi (05:40 Tue 16 Jun to 07:50 Wed 17 Jun) and Dwadashi (07:50 Wed 17 Jun to 09:39 Thu 18 Jun) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Wed 17 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Tue 16 Jun Dashami lasts until 05:40, inside it (04:15–05:51); on Wed 17 Jun Ekadashi holds all of it.

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, 05:51 here. Dashami ended at 05:40 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:50, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 6 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 05:40 Tue, before sunrise at 05:51 Tue, and ends at 07:50, after the next sunrise at 05:51. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 16 Jun ran from sunset 19:08 Tue to sunrise 05:51, 10 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:51 to 19:08, 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, 19:08 to 05:51 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 10°. It leaves at 06:03, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 62.1° + 13.2° = 75.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 14:23, then Sukarma.

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 18:47 Tue, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 07:50.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:51 to 05:51 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 14 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 21 Jun, 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 21 Jun, 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: 24 Mar 2020, 14:58 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 82° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
