Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 27 Jan 2014

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 27 Jan only, at 08:14: Mon 27 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:22 Sun, before it (06:38–08:14).

Shattila 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, 08:14 here. Dashami ended at 18:22 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 15:54, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 16 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 26 Jan ran from sunset 18:10 Sun to sunrise 08:14, 14 h 4 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 56 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:14 to 18:11, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 14 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:11 to 08:13 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 45 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 230°. It leaves at 23:26, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 283.1° + 230.8° = 513.9°, one full turn and 153.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 17:44, then Vyaghata.

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 ended at 05:13, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 15:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:14 to 08:13 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 31 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 31 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 10 Apr 2013, 13:35 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 286.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2070; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1935.
