Panchang in Vapi, Gujarat Fri 13 Feb 2026

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 13 Feb only, at 07:09: Fri 13 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 12:22 Thu, before it (05:33–07:09).

Vijaya Ekadashi: every date in Vapi

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, 07:09 here. Dashami ended at 12:22 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 14:26, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 12 Feb ran from sunset 18:35 Thu to sunrise 07:09, 12 h 34 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:09 to 18:36, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:36 to 07:08 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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 16:12, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 300.1° + 248.8° = 548.9°, one full turn and 188.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 03:23 Sat, then Siddhi.

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 01:27, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 14:26.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:09 to 07:08 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 17 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 16:27 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 315.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
