Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 23 Sep 2011

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 23 Sep only, at 07:47: Fri 23 Sep.

Indira 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, 07:47 here. Dashami ended at 06:22, before it. Ekadashi ends at 04:45 Sat, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:09, came before Dashami ended at 06:52: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 05:15 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sevan · UTC+5

Sunrise here, 07:47, came after Dashami ended at 06:22: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Thu 22 Sep ran from sunset 19:58 Thu to sunrise 07:47, 11 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:47 to 19:56, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:56 to 07:48 Sat, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 93°20′. It leaves at 01:30 Sat, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 155.7° + 96.5° = 252.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 09:40, then Shiva.

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 17:39, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 04:45 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:47 to 07:48 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Sep, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 27 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina here, and Bhadrapada in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 2011, 19:32 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 166.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2068; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1933.
