Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 12 Mar 2037

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 12 Mar only, at 07:16: Thu 12 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 14:49 Wed, before it (05:40–07:16).

Papamochani 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, 07:16 here. Dashami ended at 14:49 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 17:09, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 11 Mar ran from sunset 19:02 Wed to sunrise 07:16, 12 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:16 to 19:03, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:03 to 07:14 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 273°20′. It leaves at 17:18, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 327.5° + 275° = 602.5°, one full turn and 242.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 03:25 Fri, then Shiva.

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 03:56, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 17:09.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:16 to 07:14 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 17 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2036, 00:56 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 344.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2093; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1958.
