Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 18 Oct 1972

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 18 Oct only, at 07:14: Wed 18 Oct.

Papankusha 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, 07:14 here. Dashami ended at 05:54, before it. Ekadashi ends at 04:46 Thu, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:23, came before Dashami ended at 07:24: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 06:16 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sevan · UTC+4

Sunrise here, 07:14, came after Dashami ended at 05:54: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Tue 17 Oct ran from sunset 18:17 Tue to sunrise 07:14, 12 h 57 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:14 to 18:15, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:15 to 07:15 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 300°. It leaves at 15:28, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 181.4° + 302° = 483.4°, one full turn and 123.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 23:36, then Vriddhi.

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 runs until 17:26, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 04:46 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:14 to 07:15 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 16 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 7 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 1972, 15:34 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 209.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2029; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1894.
