Panchang in Progress, Amur Oblast, Russia Fri 12 Jan 2018

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 12 Jan only, at 08:14: Fri 12 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:40 Thu, before it (06:38–08:14).

Shattila Ekadashi: every date in Progress

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, 08:14 here. Dashami ended at 22:40 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 00:52 Sat, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 11 Jan ran from sunset 16:42 Thu to sunrise 08:14, 15 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 2 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:14 to 16:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 3 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:44 to 08:14 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 56 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 210°. It leaves at 10:56, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 267.6° + 212° = 479.6°, one full turn and 119.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 09:03, then Ganda.

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 runs until 11:44, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 00:52 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:14 to 08:14 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 17 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2017, 11:57 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 284.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
