Panchang in Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia Fri 29 Sep 2028

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 06:48 on Thu 28 Sep and 06:49 on Fri 29 Sep. Ekadashi (06:25 Thu 28 Sep to 08:37 Fri 29 Sep) and Dwadashi (08:37 Fri 29 Sep to 11:04 Sat 30 Sep) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Fri 29 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Thu 28 Sep Dashami lasts until 06:25, inside it (05:12–06:48); on Fri 29 Sep Ekadashi holds all of it.

Papankusha Ekadashi: every date in Split

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, 06:49 here. Dashami ended at 06:25 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 08:37, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:25 Thu, before sunrise at 06:48 Thu, and ends at 08:37, after the next sunrise at 06:49. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 28 Sep ran from sunset 18:40 Thu to sunrise 06:49, 12 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:49 to 18:38, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:38 to 06:51 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 09:26 Sat, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 162.3° + 293.5° = 455.8°, one full turn and 95.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 03:04 Sat, then Shula.

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 19:29 Thu, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 08:37.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:49 to 06:51 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, 18 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 18 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 26 Mar 2028, 06:31 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 180.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
