Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 26 May 1923

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 26 May only, at 04:33: Sat 26 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:26, before it (02:57–04:33).

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, 04:35 here. Dashami ended at 00:28, before it. Ekadashi ends at 21:39, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 25 May ran from sunset 19:17 Fri to sunrise 04:35, 9 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:35 to 19:18, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:18 to 04:34 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 160°. It leaves at 21:03, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 41° + 163.3° = 204.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 18:30, 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 11:07, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 21:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:35 to 04:34 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 01:38 Wed to 14 Jun 15:41 Thu the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 00:42 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1923, 15:51 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 67.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1980; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1845.
