Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 11 Nov 1982

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 11 Nov only, at 07:40: Thu 11 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:07 Wed, before it (06:04–07:40).

Rama 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, 07:40 here. Dashami ended at 19:07 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 18:18, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 10 Nov ran from sunset 17:47 Wed to sunrise 07:40, 13 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:40 to 17:46, 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 night here, 17:46 to 07:42 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 150°. It leaves at 23:16, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 204.8° + 151.3° = 356.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 14:07, then Vishkambha.

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 06:40, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 18:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:40 to 07:42 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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 15 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 15 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina 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 224° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
