Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 12 Aug 1985

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 12 Aug only, at 07:07: Mon 12 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:42 Sun, before it (05:31–07:07).

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, 07:07 here. Dashami ended at 16:42 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 17:47, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 11 Aug ran from sunset 21:03 Sun to sunrise 07:07, 10 h 4 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:07 to 21:02, 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, 21:02 to 07:08 Tue, 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 3 at 60°. It leaves at 15:04, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 115.7° + 62.5° = 178.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 22:10, 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 ended at 05:20, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 17:47.

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

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 04:56 Thu to 16 Aug 15:05 Fri the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 19:23 Fri, 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: 21 Mar 1985, 15:58 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 138.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2042; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1907.
