Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 10 Feb 2071

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 09:17 on Tue 10 Feb, after that sunrise (07:59), and ends at 06:24 on Wed 11 Feb, before the next (07:58 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 10 Feb.

Jaya Ekadashi: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:59 here. Navami ended at 11:45 Mon, before it. Dashami ends at 09:17, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 31 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 09:17 and ended at 06:24 Wed, between the sunrises of 07:59 and 07:58 Wed. Tuesday reads Dashami and Wednesday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 9 Feb ran from sunset 18:27 Mon to sunrise 07:59, 13 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:59 to 18:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:28 to 07:58 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 41 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′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 53°20′. It leaves at 01:38 Wed, for Ardra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 296.6° + 55.9° = 352.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 19:26, then Vishkambha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 22:34 Mon, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 09:17.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:59 to 07:58 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 2 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 31 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 2070, 06:31 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 299.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2127; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1992.
