Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Sun 18 Mar 2046

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:21 on Sun 18 Mar, after that sunrise (06:35), and ends at 04:52 on Mon 19 Mar, before the next (06:34 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 18 Mar.

Amalaki 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, 06:35 here. Navami ended at 09:12 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 07:21, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:21 and ended at 04:52 Mon, between the sunrises of 06:35 and 06:34 Mon. Sunday reads Dashami and Monday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 17 Mar ran from sunset 18:39 Sat to sunrise 06:35, 11 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:35 to 18:39, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:39 to 06:34 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 90°. It leaves at 07:42, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 333.1° + 92.7° = 425.8°, one full turn and 65.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 08:00, then Atiganda.

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 20:22 Sat, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 07:21.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:35 to 06:34 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 7 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2045, 22:44 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 359.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2102; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1967.
