Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 12 Aug 1966

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 12 Aug only, at 06:06: Fri 12 Aug.

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, 06:06 here. Dashami ended at 05:10, before it. Ekadashi ends at 03:47 Sat, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Sunrise here, 05:48, came before Dashami ended at 06:40: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 05:17 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:06, came after Dashami ended at 05:10: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Thu 11 Aug ran from sunset 20:03 Thu to sunrise 06:06, 10 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:06 to 20:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:02 to 06:07 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 53°20′. It leaves at 00:47 Sat, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 115.5° + 56° = 171.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 09:02, then Harshana.

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 16:35, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 03:47 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:06 to 06:07 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 08:30 Mon to 16 Aug 15:47 Tue the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 21:28 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 16 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) here, and Shravana (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 1966, 08:46 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 137.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2023; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1888.
