Why is Buddha Purnima on Fri 1 May in Maclear?
Buddha Purnima is on Fri 1 May: Purnima holds sunrise that day.
Sunrise at 06:36 is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 17:43.
Purnima at sunrise, 06:36. Purnima: 17:43 Thu to 19:23.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Buddha Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 17:43 on Thu 30 Apr to 19:23 on Fri 1 May, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 1 May, at 06:36. No text giving Buddha Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
