Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 23 Aug 1945

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 11:17 on Wed 22 Aug to 09:02 on Thu 23 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 23 Aug, at 06:26. 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, 06:26 here. Chaturdashi ended at 11:17 Wed, before it. Purnima ends at 09:02, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 09:02 and ended at 06:23 Fri, between the sunrises of 06:26 and 06:26 Fri. Thursday reads Purnima and Friday reads Dwitiya: Pratipada is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Wed 22 Aug ran from sunset 18:04 Wed to sunrise 06:26, 12 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:26 to 18:04, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:04 to 06:26 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 303°20′. It leaves at 08:40, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 126.8° + 305.3° = 432.1°, one full turn and 72.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 18:46, then Sukarma.

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 22:13 Wed, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 09:02.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:26 to 06:26 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 14 Mar 1945, 00:50 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 156.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2002; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1867.
