Panchang in Deva, Hunedoara County, Romania Sun 17 Apr 2011

Hanuman Jayanti follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 09:30 on Sun 17 Apr, after that sunrise, and ends at 05:43 on Mon 18 Apr, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Sun 17 Apr. No text giving Hanuman Jayanti’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Hanuman Jayanti: every date in Deva

Purnima: every date in Deva

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, 06:39 here. Trayodashi ended at 13:17 Sat, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 09:30, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 3 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 09:30 and ended at 05:43 Mon, between the sunrises of 06:39 and 06:38 Mon. Sunday reads Chaturdashi and Monday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 16 Apr ran from sunset 20:15 Sat to sunrise 06:39, 10 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:39 to 20:17, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 42 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:17 to 06:38 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 166°40′. It leaves at 13:20, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 2.8° + 169.1° = 171.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 08:49, then Harshana.

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 23:24 Sat, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 09:30.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:39 to 06:38 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 3 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 2011, 17:32 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 13.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2068; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1933.
