Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 3 Nov 1900

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 3 Nov only, at 06:29: Sat 3 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:23 Fri, before it (04:53–06:29).

Dev Uthani Ekadashi: every date in Sevan

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, 06:31 here. Dashami ended at 18:25 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 15:33, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 23 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 2 Nov ran from sunset 16:56 Fri to sunrise 06:31, 13 h 35 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:31 to 16:55, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:55 to 06:32 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 42 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 20:40, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 197.8° + 324.6° = 522.4°, one full turn and 162.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 23:07, then Harshana.

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 ended at 05:02, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 15:33.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:31 to 06:32 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 15 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 22 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 23 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 1900, 23:30 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 210.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1957; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1822.
