Panchang in Davinópolis, Maranhão, Brazil Tue 20 Jun 1978

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 21:16 on Mon 19 Jun to 17:30 on Tue 20 Jun, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 20 Jun, at 06:16. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Davinópolis

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 168°–180° is the 15th, Shukla Purnima. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:16 here. Chaturdashi ended at 21:16 Mon, before it. Purnima ends at 17:30, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 05:23, came before Chaturdashi ended at 05:46: this day reads Chaturdashi. Purnima ends at 02:00 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Purnima: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:16, came after Chaturdashi ended at 21:16 Mon: this day reads Purnima.

The night of Mon 19 Jun ran from sunset 18:04 Mon to sunrise 06:16, 12 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:16 to 18:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:05 to 06:17 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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 4 at 236°40′. It leaves at 08:42, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 65.1° + 238.5° = 303.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 10:50, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Purnima is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 07:25, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 17:30.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:16 to 06:17 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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, 5 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 5 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: 7 Apr 1978, 12:15 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 71.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2035; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1900.
