Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 3 Apr 1997

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 3 Apr only, at 07:40: Thu 3 Apr.

Papamochani 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 07:21, before it. Ekadashi ends at 04:33 Fri, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 06:09, came before Dashami ended at 07:51: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 05:03 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sevan · UTC+5

Sunrise here, 07:40, came after Dashami ended at 07:21: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Wed 2 Apr ran from sunset 20:25 Wed to sunrise 07:40, 11 h 15 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:40 to 20:26, 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 night here, 20:26 to 07:39 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 286°40′. It leaves at 13:36, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 349.6° + 289.7° = 639.3°, one full turn and 279.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 08:44, then Sadhya.

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 18:00, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 04:33 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:40 to 07:39 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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 7 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna 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 374.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2053; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1918.
