Panchang in Diffa, Niger Sun 1 Feb 2026

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 01:23 on Sun 1 Feb to 23:09 on Sun 1 Feb, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 1 Feb, at 06:36. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Diffa

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, 06:36 here. Chaturdashi ended at 01:23, before it. Purnima ends at 23:09, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 31 Jan ran from sunset 18:09 Sat to sunrise 06:36, 12 h 27 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:36 to 18:10, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:10 to 06:36 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 96°40′. It leaves at 19:28, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 288.1° + 99° = 387.1°, one full turn and 27.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 02:50 Mon, then Saubhagya.

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 12:13, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 23:09.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:36 to 06:36 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 18 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 11:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 303.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
