Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 27 Sep 2001

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 120°–132° is the 11th, Shukla Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:52 here. Dashami ended at 07:14, before it. Ekadashi ends at 09:44 Fri, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:14, before sunrise at 07:52, and ends at 09:44 Fri, after the next sunrise at 07:53 Fri. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 26 Sep ran from sunset 19:50 Wed to sunrise 07:52, 12 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:52 to 19:49, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:49 to 07:53 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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 1 at 280°. It leaves at 09:53 Fri, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 160.2° + 280.5° = 440.7°, one full turn and 80.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 07:31 Fri, then Dhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 20:28, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 09:44 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:52 to 07:53 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 17 Sep 15:27 Mon to 17 Oct 00:23 Wed the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 09:37 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 17 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 2001, 06:21 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 179.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2058; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1923.
