Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 13 Oct 2020

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 13 Oct only, at 07:09: Tue 13 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:09 Mon, before it (05:33–07:09).

Parama 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, 07:09 here. Dashami ended at 15:09 Mon, before it. Ekadashi ends at 13:06, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 12 Oct ran from sunset 18:24 Mon to sunrise 07:09, 12 h 45 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:09 to 18:22, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:22 to 07:10 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 123°20′. It leaves at 21:24, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 176.1° + 124.8° = 300.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 16:11, then Shukla.

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 02:13, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 13:06.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:09 to 07:10 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Sep 15:00 Thu to 16 Oct 23:31 Fri the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 05:35 Sat, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina itself.

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 16 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

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 196° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2077; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1942.
