Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 16 Jun 1951

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 16 Jun only, at 04:28: Sat 16 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 07:50 Fri, before it (02:52–04:28).

Nirjala 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, 04:28 here. Dashami ended at 07:50 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 05:38, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 4 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 05:38 and ended at 02:45 Sun, between the sunrises of 04:28 and 04:28 Sun. Saturday reads Ekadashi and Sunday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 15 Jun ran from sunset 19:31 Fri to sunrise 04:28, 8 h 57 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:28 to 19:32, 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, 19:32 to 04:28 Sun, 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 2 at 190°. It leaves at 17:14, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 60.9° + 192.3° = 253.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 04:38, then Shiva.

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 18:49 Fri, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 05:38.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:28 to 04:28 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 4 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 1951, 13:51 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 68.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2008; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1873.
