Pauṣa Śukla Daśamī

Budhavāra. Daśamī began at 08:338:33 AM yesterday, and holds until 07:237:23 AM.

Observed here on this day

Putradā Ekādaśī

Ekādaśī touches no sunrise; it is kept on the day it falls. Boundary: a threshold is only minutes away. Why this date, here

At sunrise

07:197:19 AM

Daśamī holds at sunrise. It names the day.

Next boundary

07:237:23 AM

At noon, 11:5611:56 AM, the Sun is in Pūrvāṣāḍhā and the Moon 122° ahead of it, in Bharaṇī, 77% lit. The red arc is the gap between them; every 12° of it is one tithi, so 122° falls in Śukla Ekādaśī.
