Panchang in Thazhecode, Kerala Thu 28 Aug 2031

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:53 on Thu 28 Aug, after that sunrise (06:16), and ends at 04:00 on Fri 29 Aug, before the next (06:16 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 28 Aug.

Padmini Ekadashi: every date in Thazhecode

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:16 here. Navami ended at 09:22 Wed, before it. Dashami ends at 06:53, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 06:53 and ended at 04:00 Fri, between the sunrises of 06:16 and 06:16 Fri. Thursday reads Dashami and Friday reads Dwadashi: Ekadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Wed 27 Aug ran from sunset 18:39 Wed to sunrise 06:16, 11 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:16 to 18:38, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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 06:16 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 246°40′. It leaves at 11:56, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 130.3° + 249.9° = 380.2°, one full turn and 20.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 16:20, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 20:11 Wed, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 06:53.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:16 to 06:16 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Aug 10:02 Mon to 17 Sep 00:16 Wed the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 17 Sep 14:49 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada itself.

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 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 09:19 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 152.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
