Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 10 Jul 2007

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 10 Jul only, at 06:38: Tue 10 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:00, before it (05:02–06:38).

Yogini 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, 06:38 here. Dashami ended at 04:00, before it. Ekadashi ends at 01:30 Wed, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 9 Jul ran from sunset 21:32 Mon to sunrise 06:38, 9 h 6 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:38 to 21:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:32 to 06:38 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 23°20′. It leaves at 09:29, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 83.5° + 25° = 108.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 00:44 Wed, then Ganda.

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 14:46, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 01:30 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:38 to 06:38 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 14 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 14 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha 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 109.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2064; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1929.
