Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 26 Jun 1950

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 26 Jun only, at 04:30: Mon 26 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 14:52 Sun, before it (02:54–04:30).

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, 04:30 here. Dashami ended at 14:52 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 12:00, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sun 25 Jun ran from sunset 19:34 Sun to sunrise 04:30, 8 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:30 to 19:34, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 53 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:34 to 04:30 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 196°40′. It leaves at 07:03, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 70.7° + 198.4° = 269.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 21:06, then Sadhya.

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 ended at 01:29, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 12:00.

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

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Jun 18:52 Thu to 15 Jul 08:05 Sat the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 09:41 Sun, 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 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 1950, 18:20 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 96.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2007; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1872.
