Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Thu 28 Jul 2061

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 28 Jul only, at 05:53: Thu 28 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 05:56 Wed, before it (04:17–05:53).

Padmini 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, 05:53 here. Dashami ended at 05:56 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:18, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 27 Jul ran from sunset 20:19 Wed to sunrise 05:53, 9 h 34 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:53 to 20:18, 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 night here, 20:18 to 05:54 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 230°. It leaves at 22:29, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 100.8° + 231.7° = 332.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 07:19, then Indra.

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 19:09 Wed, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 08:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:53 to 05:54 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 05:10 Sun to 15 Aug 13:39 Mon the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 05:50 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana itself.

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 17 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2061, 21:23 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 123.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2118; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1983.
