Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 13 Jan 2045

Lohri’s bonfire is lit on the evening before Makar Sankranti. The Sun enters Makara at 10:31 Sat, and Makar Sankranti is on Sat 14 Jan: Fri 13 Jan. No text giving Lohri’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Lohri: every date in Sevan

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 13 Jan only, at 08:21: Fri 13 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:12 Thu, before it (06:45–08:21).

Shattila 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, 08:21 here. Dashami ended at 21:12 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 22:50, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 3 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 12 Jan ran from sunset 17:54 Thu to sunrise 08:21, 14 h 27 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:21 to 17:55, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:55 to 08:21 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 213°20′. It leaves at 09:03 Sat, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 268.9° + 214.1° = 483°, one full turn and 123°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 03:05 Sat, then Vriddhi.

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 runs until 09:57, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 22:50.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:21 to 08:21 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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2044, 13:26 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 284° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2101; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1966.
