Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 22 Feb 1998

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 08:33 on Sun 22 Feb, after that sunrise (07:44), and ends at 07:35 on Mon 23 Feb, before the next (07:43 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 22 Feb.

Vijaya Ekadashi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:44 here. Navami ended at 08:42 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 08:33, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 11 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 08:33 and ended at 07:35 Mon, between the sunrises of 07:44 and 07:43 Mon. Sunday reads Dashami and Monday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 21 Feb ran from sunset 18:41 Sat to sunrise 07:44, 13 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:44 to 18:42, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:42 to 07:43 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 246°40′. It leaves at 15:24, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 309.5° + 249.1° = 558.6°, one full turn and 198.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 10:10, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 20:44 Sat, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 08:33.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:44 to 07:43 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 26 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 1997, 16:01 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 315.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2054; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1919.
