Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 21 Aug 2086

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 21 Aug only, at 06:16: Wed 21 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 08:07 Tue, before it (04:40–06:16).

Shravana Putrada 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, 06:16 here. Dashami ended at 08:07 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:24, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 07:24 and ended at 05:52 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:16 and 06:17 Thu. Wednesday reads Ekadashi and Thursday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 20 Aug ran from sunset 19:50 Tue to sunrise 06:16, 10 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:16 to 19:48, 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 night here, 19:48 to 06:17 Thu, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 253°20′. It leaves at 02:51 Thu, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 123.5° + 254.9° = 378.4°, one full turn and 18.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 19:53, then Ayushmana.

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 19:52 Tue, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 07:24.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:16 to 06:17 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 9 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

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 153.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
