Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Mon 19 Oct 2037

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 19 Oct only, at 06:24: Mon 19 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:08 Sun, before it (04:48–06:24).

Papankusha Ekadashi: every date in Pāthardi

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 120°–132° is the 11th, Shukla Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:24 here. Dashami ended at 22:08 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 00:35 Tue, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sun 18 Oct ran from sunset 18:04 Sun to sunrise 06:24, 12 h 20 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 18:03, 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 night here, 18:03 to 06:25 Tue, 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 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 4 at 303°20′. It leaves at 09:01, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 181.6° + 305.4° = 487°, one full turn and 127°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 18:16, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 11:20, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 00:35 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:25 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 9 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2037, 05:06 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 209.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2094; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1959.
