Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 3 Sep 2025

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 3 Sep only, at 06:29: Wed 3 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:23, before it (04:53–06:29).

Parsva Ekadashi: every date in Sevan

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, 06:29 here. Dashami ended at 02:23, before it. Ekadashi ends at 02:52 Thu, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 23 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 2 Sep ran from sunset 19:30 Tue to sunrise 06:29, 10 h 59 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:29 to 19:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:28 to 06:30 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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 Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 256°40′. It leaves at 21:38, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 136.6° + 258.6° = 395.2°, one full turn and 35.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 14:47, then Saubhagya.

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 14:43, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 02:52 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:29 to 06:30 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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, 21 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 23 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada. This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 14:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 151.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
