Panchang in Chahārbāgh, Alborz Province, Iran Fri 21 Jun 2024

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 05:32 on Fri 21 Jun, after that sunrise, and ends at 04:37 on Sat 22 Jun, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Fri 21 Jun. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Chahārbāgh

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, 04:51 here. Trayodashi ended at 05:50 Thu, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 05:32, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 05:32 and ended at 04:37 Sat, between the sunrises of 04:51 and 04:51 Sat. Friday reads Chaturdashi and Saturday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 20 Jun ran from sunset 19:26 Thu to sunrise 04:51, 9 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:51 to 19:26, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:26 to 04:51 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 233°20′. It leaves at 16:18, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 66° + 233.6° = 299.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 16:41, then Shukla.

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 17:46 Thu, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 05:32.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:51 to 04:51 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 14 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 6 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 21:50 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 70.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
