Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 10 Apr 2086

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 10 Apr only, at 06:28: Wed 10 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 13:55 Tue, before it (04:52–06:28).

Parama 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, 06:28 here. Dashami ended at 13:55 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 11:04, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 9 Apr ran from sunset 19:33 Tue to sunrise 06:28, 10 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:28 to 19:34, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:34 to 06:27 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 303°20′. It leaves at 09:11, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 355.6° + 305° = 660.6°, one full turn and 300.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 15:39, then Shukla.

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 00:33, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 11:04.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:28 to 06:27 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Mar 12:05 Fri to 13 Apr 20:54 Sat the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 17:05 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 13 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) here, and Chaitra (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2086, 12:05 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 25.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
