Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 7 Aug 1904

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 05:01 on Sun 7 Aug, after that sunrise (04:59), and ends at 03:35 on Mon 8 Aug, before the next (05:00 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 7 Aug.

Kamika Ekadashi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:01 here. Navami ended at 05:40 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 05:03, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 05:03 and ended at 03:37 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:01 and 05:02 Mon. Sunday reads Dashami and Monday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 6 Aug ran from sunset 19:09 Sat to sunrise 05:01, 9 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:01 to 19:08, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 45 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:08 to 05:02 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 14 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 50°. It leaves at 08:08, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 111.6° + 51.6° = 163.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 21:42, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 17:27 Sat, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 05:03.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:01 to 05:02 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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 15 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 11 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1904, 08:39 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 137.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1961; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1826.
