Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 4 Jun 1929

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 4 Jun only, at 04:30: Tue 4 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 06:34 Mon, before it (02:54–04:30).

Apara Ekadashi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 300°–312° is the 26th, Krishna Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:30 here. Dashami ended at 06:34 Mon, before it. Ekadashi ends at 04:59, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 23 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 04:59 and ended at 02:43 Wed, between the sunrises of 04:30 and 04:30 Wed. Tuesday reads Ekadashi and Wednesday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 3 Jun ran from sunset 19:25 Mon to sunrise 04:30, 9 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:30 to 19:25, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:25 to 04:30 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 00:00 Wed, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 50.1° + 1.8° = 51.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 06:50, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 17:52 Mon, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 04:59.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:30 to 04:30 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 7 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 1929, 23:32 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 53.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1986; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1851.
