Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 10 Sep 2042

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 10 Sep only, at 06:35: Wed 10 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 07:18 Tue, before it (04:59–06:35).

Aja 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, 06:35 here. Dashami ended at 07:18 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:29, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 9 Sep ran from sunset 19:19 Tue to sunrise 06:35, 11 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:35 to 19:17, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:17 to 06:36 Thu, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 93°20′. It leaves at 05:22 Thu, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 143.1° + 94.7° = 237.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 10:32, then Parigha.

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 19:20 Tue, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 07:29.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:35 to 06:36 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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 14 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 14 Sep, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2042, 21:23 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 166.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2099; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1964.
