Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 18 Sep 2048

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 18 Sep only, at 06:44: Fri 18 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:52 Thu, before it (05:08–06:44).

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, 06:44 here. Dashami ended at 16:52 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 14:51, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 17 Sep ran from sunset 19:04 Thu to sunrise 06:44, 11 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:44 to 19:03, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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 06:45 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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 4 at 276°40′. It leaves at 08:35, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 151.3° + 278.9° = 430.2°, one full turn and 70.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 22:18, then Sukarma.

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 03:51, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 14:51.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:44 to 06:45 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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Oct, 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 8 Sep, 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: 14 Mar 2048, 18:27 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 181.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2105; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1970.
