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 15:46 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 17:39, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 8 Apr ran from sunset 18:44 Sun to sunrise 06:16, 11 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:16 to 18:45, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:45 to 06:15 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 300°. It leaves at 15:41, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 355.2° + 301.9° = 657.1°, one full turn and 297.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 23:51, then Shukla.

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 04:40, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 17:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:16 to 06:15 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 09:49 Thu to 14 Apr 03:10 Sat the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 03:54 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 14 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 09:49 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 24.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
