Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Fri 18 Feb 1916

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 22:15 on Thu 17 Feb to 23:28 on Fri 18 Feb, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 18 Feb, at 06:07. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Ipameri

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, 06:07 here. Chaturdashi ended at 22:15 Thu, before it. Purnima ends at 23:28, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 3 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 17 Feb ran from sunset 18:46 Thu to sunrise 06:07, 11 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:07 to 18:45, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:45 to 06:08 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 116°40′. It leaves at 11:06, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 305.7° + 117.4° = 423.1°, one full turn and 63.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 12:26, then Atiganda.

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 10:55, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 23:28.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:07 to 06:08 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Mar, 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 3 Feb, 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: 15 Mar 1915, 16:41 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 334.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1972; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1837.
