Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 27 Oct 1944

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 09:03 on Fri 27 Oct, after that sunrise (06:23), and ends at 06:13 on Sat 28 Oct, before the next (06:24 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 27 Oct.

Dev Uthani Ekadashi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:23 here. Navami ended at 11:23 Thu, before it. Dashami ends at 09:03, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 09:03 and ended at 06:13 Sat, between the sunrises of 06:23 and 06:24 Sat. Friday reads Dashami and Saturday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 26 Oct ran from sunset 17:04 Thu to sunrise 06:23, 13 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:23 to 17:03, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:03 to 06:24 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 40 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 306°40′. It leaves at 00:30 Sat, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 190.5° + 309° = 499.5°, one full turn and 139.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 17:26, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 22:17 Thu, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 09:03.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:23 to 06:24 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 15 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 17 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 1944, 14:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 209.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2001; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1866.
