Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Fri 17 Oct 2025

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 07:09 on Thu 16 Oct and 07:10 on Fri 17 Oct. Ekadashi (07:06 Thu 16 Oct to 07:42 Fri 17 Oct) and Dwadashi (07:42 Fri 17 Oct to 08:49 Sat 18 Oct) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Fri 17 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Thu 16 Oct Dashami lasts until 07:06, inside it (05:33–07:09); on Fri 17 Oct Ekadashi holds all of it.

Rama Ekadashi: every date in Split

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, 07:10 here. Dashami ended at 07:06 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 07:42, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 7 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 07:06 Thu, before sunrise at 07:09 Thu, and ends at 07:42, after the next sunrise at 07:10. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 16 Oct ran from sunset 18:09 Thu to sunrise 07:10, 13 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:10 to 18:07, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:07 to 07:12 Sat, 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 130°. It leaves at 10:27, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 179.9° + 131.6° = 311.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 22:18, then Brahma.

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 19:20 Thu, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 07:42.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:10 to 07:12 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 21 Oct, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 21 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 11:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 195.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
