Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 11 Jul 1996

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 11 Jul only, at 05:39: Thu 11 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 11:17 Wed, before it (04:03–05:39).

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, 05:39 here. Dashami ended at 11:17 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 12:25, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 10 Jul ran from sunset 20:31 Wed to sunrise 05:39, 9 h 8 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:39 to 20:31, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:31 to 05:40 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 33°20′. It leaves at 17:18, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 85.2° + 34° = 119.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 07:00, then Ganda.

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 23:47 Wed, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 12:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:39 to 05:40 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 05:35 Sun to 15 Jul 20:14 Mon the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 05:40 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 15 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) 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 109.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2053; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1918.
