Kartik Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 08:49 on Fri 15 Nov, after that sunrise, and ends at 05:28 on Sat 16 Nov, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Fri 15 Nov. No text giving Kartik 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, 07:00 here. Trayodashi ended at 12:13 Thu, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 08:49, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 1 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 08:49 and ended at 05:28 Sat, between the sunrises of 07:00 and 07:01 Sat. Friday reads Chaturdashi and Saturday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

Baoding · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 07:00, came before Chaturdashi ended at 08:49: this day reads Chaturdashi. Purnima ends at 05:28 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Purnima: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 14 Nov ran from sunset 17:04 Thu to sunrise 07:00, 13 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:00 to 17:04, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:04 to 07:01 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 13°20′. It leaves at 00:25 Sat, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 208.9° + 15.8° = 224.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 09:59, then Variyana.

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 22:31 Thu, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 08:49.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:00 to 07:01 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 1 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2024, 02:20 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 213.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
