Kamada Ekadashi: every date in Thazhecode

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, 06:09 here. Dashami ended at 09:23 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 06:37, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 06:37 and ended at 03:22 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:09 and 06:09 Thu. Wednesday reads Ekadashi and Thursday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 24 Apr ran from sunset 18:38 Tue to sunrise 06:09, 11 h 31 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 18:38, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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 06:09 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 140°. It leaves at 12:49, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 10.8° + 142.6° = 153.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 16:12, then Vyaghata.

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 20:04 Tue, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 06:37.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:09 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 14 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 09:49 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 40.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
