Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 22 May 2002

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:38 on Wed 22 May, after that sunrise (06:37), and ends at 03:48 on Thu 23 May, before the next (06:37 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 22 May.

Mohini Ekadashi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:37 here. Navami ended at 09:17 Tue, before it. Dashami ends at 06:38, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:38 and ended at 03:48 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:37 and 06:37 Thu. Wednesday reads Dashami and Thursday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 21 May ran from sunset 21:14 Tue to sunrise 06:37, 9 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:37 to 21:15, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:15 to 06:37 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 156°40′. It leaves at 11:43, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 36.9° + 156.9° = 193.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 16:10, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 19:59 Tue, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 06:38.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:37 to 06:37 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 12 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 13 Apr 2002, 00:21 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 38.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2059; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1924.
