Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Tue 1 Aug 2023

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 06:22 on Tue 1 Aug, after that sunrise, and ends at 02:31 on Wed 2 Aug, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Tue 1 Aug. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Baoding

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:18 here. Trayodashi ended at 09:57 Mon, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 06:22, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 06:22 and ended at 02:31 Wed, between the sunrises of 05:18 and 05:19 Wed. Tuesday reads Chaturdashi and Wednesday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:42, came after Chaturdashi ended at 03:52: this day reads Purnima.

Baoding · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:18, came before Chaturdashi ended at 06:22: this day reads Chaturdashi. Purnima ends at 02:31 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Purnima: it is kshaya.

The night of Mon 31 Jul ran from sunset 19:30 Mon to sunrise 05:18, 9 h 48 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:18 to 19:29, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 46 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:29 to 05:19 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 13 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 270°. It leaves at 18:33, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 104.2° + 271.6° = 375.8°, one full turn and 15.8°. 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 21:22, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 20:12 Mon, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 06:22.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:18 to 05:19 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 02:31 Tue to 16 Aug 17:38 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 16:02 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2023, 01:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 127.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
