Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 10 Feb 1972

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, 08:01 here. Dashami ended at 07:45, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:30 Fri, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:45, before sunrise at 08:01, and ends at 08:30 Fri, after the next sunrise at 08:00 Fri. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 9 Feb ran from sunset 18:26 Wed to sunrise 08:01, 13 h 35 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:01 to 18:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:27 to 08:00 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 41 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 236°40′. It leaves at 13:26, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 297° + 237.2° = 534.2°, one full turn and 174.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 05:54 Fri, then Vajra.

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 20:13, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 08:30 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:01 to 08:00 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 15 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 26 Mar 1971, 23:23 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 315° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2028; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1893.
