Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 27 Nov 2043

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 07:58 on Thu 26 Nov and 07:59 on Fri 27 Nov. Ekadashi (07:24 Thu 26 Nov to 09:06 Fri 27 Nov) and Dwadashi (09:06 Fri 27 Nov to 11:12 Sat 28 Nov) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Fri 27 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Thu 26 Nov Dashami lasts until 07:24, inside it (06:22–07:58); on Fri 27 Nov Ekadashi holds all of it.

Utpanna 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, 07:59 here. Dashami ended at 07:24 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 09:06, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 17 Nov, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:24 Thu, before sunrise at 07:58 Thu, and ends at 09:06, after the next sunrise at 07:59. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 26 Nov ran from sunset 17:35 Thu to sunrise 07:59, 14 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:59 to 17:35, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:35 to 08:00 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 170°. It leaves at 11:02, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 220.3° + 171.8° = 392.1°, one full turn and 32.1°. 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 22:28, then Saubhagya.

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 20:11 Thu, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 09:06.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:59 to 08:00 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 17 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 1 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, begins Margashirsha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Margashirsha here, and Kartika in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2043, 23:06 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 224.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2100; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1965.
