Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 28 Aug 2031

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 28 Aug only, at 06:22: Thu 28 Aug.

Padmini 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, 06:22 here. Dashami ended at 05:23, before it. Ekadashi ends at 02:30 Fri, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 05:57, came before Dashami ended at 06:53: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 04:00 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:22, came after Dashami ended at 05:23: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Wed 27 Aug ran from sunset 19:40 Wed to sunrise 06:22, 10 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:22 to 19:39, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:39 to 06:23 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 250°. It leaves at 10:26, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 130.3° + 250.9° = 381.2°, one full turn and 21.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 14:50, then Ayushmana.

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 15:59, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 02:30 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:22 to 06:23 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Aug 08:32 Mon to 16 Sep 22:46 Tue the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 17 Sep 13:19 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 18 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 07:49 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 152.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
