Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 30 Aug 2039

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 30 Aug only, at 06:24: Tue 30 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 09:46 Mon, before it (04:48–06:24).

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, 06:24 here. Dashami ended at 09:46 Mon, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:27, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 07:27 and ended at 05:10 Wed, between the sunrises of 06:24 and 06:25 Wed. Tuesday reads Ekadashi and Wednesday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 29 Aug ran from sunset 19:37 Mon to sunrise 06:24, 10 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 19:35, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:35 to 06:25 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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 4 at 263°20′. It leaves at 11:32, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 132.2° + 263.6° = 395.8°, one full turn and 35.8°. 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 12:59, 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 ended at 20:37 Mon, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 07:27.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:25 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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, 18 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 20 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: 24 Mar 2039, 21:59 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 152.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2096; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1961.
