Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 26 Jul 1920

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 26 Jul only, at 04:48: Mon 26 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 14:55 Sun, before it (03:12–04:48).

Padmini 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, 04:50 here. Dashami ended at 14:57 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 17:26, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sun 25 Jul ran from sunset 19:22 Sun to sunrise 04:50, 9 h 28 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:50 to 19:21, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:21 to 04:51 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 223°20′. It leaves at 05:34, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 100° + 226.3° = 326.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 18:02, then Indra.

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 04:10, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 17:26.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:50 to 04:51 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Jul 23:24 Thu to 14 Aug 06:43 Sat the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 01:42 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana itself.

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 15 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 1920, 13:55 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 123.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1977; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1842.
