Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 3 May 2020

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:39 on Sun 3 May, after that sunrise (05:56), and ends at 04:43 on Mon 4 May, before the next (05:55 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 3 May.

Mohini Ekadashi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:56 here. Navami ended at 10:06 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 07:39, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 23 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:39 and ended at 04:43 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:56 and 05:55 Mon. Sunday reads Dashami and Monday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 2 May ran from sunset 19:57 Sat to sunrise 05:56, 9 h 59 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:56 to 19:58, 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 night here, 19:58 to 05:55 Mon, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 136°40′. It leaves at 20:12, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 19° + 138° = 157°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 10:38, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 20:57 Sat, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 07:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:56 to 05:55 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 22 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 23 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2020, 13:28 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 38.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
