Panchang in Simrishamn, Skåne, Sweden Sat 22 Jan 2028

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 08:14 on Fri 21 Jan and 08:13 on Sat 22 Jan. Ekadashi (07:47 Fri 21 Jan to 08:34 Sat 22 Jan) and Dwadashi (08:34 Sat 22 Jan to 09:53 Sun 23 Jan) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Sat 22 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Fri 21 Jan Dashami lasts until 07:47, inside it (06:38–08:14); on Sat 22 Jan Ekadashi holds all of it.

Shattila Ekadashi: every date in Simrishamn

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, 08:13 here. Dashami ended at 07:47 Fri, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:34, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 12 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:47 Fri, before sunrise at 08:14 Fri, and ends at 08:34, after the next sunrise at 08:13. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 21 Jan ran from sunset 16:13 Fri to sunrise 08:13, 16 h 0 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 4 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:13 to 16:15, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 0 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:15 to 08:11 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 59 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 1 at 226°40′. It leaves at 04:48 Sun, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 277.5° + 229.3° = 506.8°, one full turn and 146.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 07:41 Sun, then Vyaghata.

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 20:06 Fri, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 08:34.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:13 to 08:11 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 26 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 01:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 284.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
