Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 23 Nov 2012

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, 07:55 here. Dashami ended at 07:36, before it. Ekadashi ends at 09:08 Sat, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:36, before sunrise at 07:55, and ends at 09:08 Sat, after the next sunrise at 07:56 Sat. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 22 Nov ran from sunset 17:37 Thu to sunrise 07:55, 14 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:55 to 17:37, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:37 to 07:56 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 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 Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 336°40′. It leaves at 02:01 Sat, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 217.2° + 337.4° = 554.6°, one full turn and 194.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 17:37, then Siddhi.

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 20:18, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 09:08 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:55 to 07:56 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2012, 18:37 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 238.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2069; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1934.
