Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 11 Jun 2007

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 11 Jun only, at 06:29: Mon 11 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:08 Sun, before it (04:53–06:29).

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, 06:29 here. Dashami ended at 23:08 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 20:18, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 10 Jun ran from sunset 21:29 Sun to sunrise 06:29, 9 h 0 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:29 to 21:30, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:30 to 06:29 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 356°40′. It leaves at 06:32, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 55.8° + 359.9° = 415.7°, one full turn and 55.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 23:16, then Atiganda.

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 09:45, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 20:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:29 to 06:29 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 May 00:27 Thu to 15 Jun 08:13 Fri the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 15:22 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2007, 06:42 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 81.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2064; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1929.
