Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 31 Jul 2096

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:56 on Mon 30 Jul and 05:57 on Tue 31 Jul. Ekadashi (04:13 Mon 30 Jul to 06:19 Tue 31 Jul) and Dwadashi (06:19 Tue 31 Jul to 07:56 Wed 1 Aug) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Tue 31 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: over two sunrises, they too fast on the second.

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, 05:57 here. Dashami ended at 04:13 Mon, before it. Ekadashi ends at 06:19, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 19 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 04:13 Mon, before sunrise at 05:56 Mon, and ends at 06:19, after the next sunrise at 05:57. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 30 Jul ran from sunset 20:16 Mon to sunrise 05:57, 9 h 41 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:57 to 20:15, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:15 to 05:58 Wed, 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 3 at 233°20′. It leaves at 14:44, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 103.7° + 235.6° = 339.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 19:26, then Vaidhriti.

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 17:19 Mon, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 06:19.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:57 to 05:58 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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Aug, 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 19 Jul, 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: 24 Mar 2096, 12:56 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 124.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2153; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2018.
