Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 11 Jul 1931

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 11 Jul only, at 04:38: Sat 11 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:22 Fri, before it (03:02–04:38).

Parama 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, 04:38 here. Dashami ended at 19:22 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 20:00, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Fri 10 Jul ran from sunset 19:32 Fri to sunrise 04:38, 9 h 6 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:38 to 19:31, 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, 19:31 to 04:38 Sun, 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 26°40′. It leaves at 00:38 Sun, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 84.9° + 29.4° = 114.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 14:43, then Ganda.

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 runs until 07:47, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 20:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:38 to 04:38 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 Jun 06:01 Tue to 15 Jul 15:19 Wed the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 12:51 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 1931, 10:50 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 110° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1988; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1853.
