Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 19 Feb 2096

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds sunrise on both mornings, 07:48 on Sun 19 Feb and 07:47 on Mon 20 Feb; over two sunrises, Smartas fast on the first, as Dwadashi does not also grow: Sun 19 Feb.

Vijaya 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, 07:48 here. Dashami ended at 07:16, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:49 Mon, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 8 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:16, before sunrise at 07:48, and ends at 07:49 Mon, after the next sunrise at 07:47 Mon. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 18 Feb ran from sunset 18:38 Sat to sunrise 07:48, 13 h 10 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:48 to 18:39, 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 night here, 18:39 to 07:47 Mon, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 243°20′. It leaves at 22:30, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 305.3° + 245.6° = 550.9°, one full turn and 190.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 23:46, then Siddhi.

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 runs until 19:39, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 07:49 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:48 to 07:47 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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 14 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 24 Feb, 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 24 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 4 Apr 2095, 20:37 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 315.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2152; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2017.
