Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 29 Nov 1922

Gita Jayanti follows the tithi at sunrise. Ekadashi holds both sunrises, 06:59 on Wed 29 Nov and 07:00 on Thu 30 Nov. Over two sunrises the Nirnayasindhu takes the first: Wed 29 Nov. No text giving Gita Jayanti’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Gita Jayanti: 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, 07:01 here. Dashami ended at 05:46, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:23 Thu, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 19 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 05:46, before sunrise at 07:01, and ends at 08:23 Thu, after the next sunrise at 07:02 Thu. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 28 Nov ran from sunset 16:35 Tue to sunrise 07:01, 14 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:01 to 16:34, 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 night here, 16:34 to 07:02 Thu, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 343°20′. It leaves at 12:34, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 223.4° + 343.9° = 567.3°, one full turn and 207.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 18:16, then Vyatipata.

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 runs until 19:06, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 08:23 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:01 to 07:02 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 19 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 1922, 16:03 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 239.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1979; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1844.
