A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Sat 20 Jul. No text giving Guru Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Cuenca

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, 06:23 here. Trayodashi ended at 09:11 Fri, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 07:30, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 07:30 and ended at 05:17 Sun, between the sunrises of 06:23 and 06:23 Sun. Saturday reads Chaturdashi and Sunday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 19 Jul ran from sunset 18:21 Fri to sunrise 06:23, 12 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:23 to 18:21, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:21 to 06:23 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 260°. It leaves at 15:18, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 94° + 261.4° = 355.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 13:37, then Vishkambha.

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 20:25 Fri, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 07:30.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:23 to 06:23 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 5 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 13:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 98.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
