Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 11 Jun 1996

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 11 Jun only, at 05:29: Tue 11 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:03, before it (03:53–05:29).

Yogini 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, 05:29 here. Dashami ended at 01:03, before it. Ekadashi ends at 01:09 Wed, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 10 Jun ran from sunset 20:29 Mon to sunrise 05:29, 9 h 0 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 20:30, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:30 to 05:28 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 356°40′. It leaves at 07:39, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 56.6° + 358.8° = 415.4°, one full turn and 55.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 00:58 Wed, then Atiganda.

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 13:03, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 01:09 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:28 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 14 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 1996, 14:44 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 81.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2053; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1918.
