Panchang in Ewing, New Jersey, United States Fri 22 Jan 2027

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 11:00 on Thu 21 Jan to 07:17 on Fri 22 Jan, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 22 Jan, at 07:16. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Ewing

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, 07:16 here. Chaturdashi ended at 11:00 Thu, before it. Purnima ends at 07:17, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 07:17 and ended at 03:43 Sat, between the sunrises of 07:16 and 07:15 Sat. Friday reads Purnima and Saturday reads Dwitiya: Pratipada is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 21 Jan ran from sunset 17:04 Thu to sunrise 07:16, 14 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 56 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:16 to 17:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 13 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:05 to 07:15 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 46 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 21:01, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 278° + 98° = 376°, one full turn and 16°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 23:08, then Ayushmana.

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 ended at 21:08 Thu, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 07:17.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:16 to 07:15 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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 7 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 21:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 303.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
