Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 1 Aug 1928

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 12:15 on Tue 31 Jul to 12:30 on Wed 1 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 1 Aug, at 06:39. 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, 06:39 here. Chaturdashi ended at 12:15 Tue, before it. Purnima ends at 12:30, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 31 Jul ran from sunset 17:58 Tue to sunrise 06:39, 12 h 41 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:39 to 17:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:58 to 06:38 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 280°. It leaves at 01:33 Thu, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 106° + 283.1° = 389.1°, one full turn and 29.1°. 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 01:23 Thu, 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 ended at 00:27, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 12:30.

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

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 01:35 Tue to 15 Aug 10:48 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 15 Aug 20:49 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana itself.

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 17 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 1928, 17:29 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 127.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1985; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1850.
