Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 13 Oct 1982

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 13 Oct only, at 07:08: Wed 13 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 10:33 Tue, before it (05:32–07:08).

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, 07:08 here. Dashami ended at 10:33 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:46, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 08:46 and ended at 07:08 Thu, between the sunrises of 07:08 and 07:09 Thu. Wednesday reads Ekadashi and Thursday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 12 Oct ran from sunset 18:25 Tue to sunrise 07:08, 12 h 43 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:08 to 18:23, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:23 to 07:09 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 126°40′. It leaves at 18:08, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 175.8° + 127° = 302.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 13:21, then Shukla.

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 ended at 21:38 Tue, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 08:46.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:08 to 07:09 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Sep 17:09 Fri to 17 Oct 04:04 Sun the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 11:46 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 17 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1982, 14:17 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 195° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
