Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 29 Jun 1950

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 20:09 on Wed 28 Jun to 16:58 on Thu 29 Jun, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 29 Jun, at 06:43. 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, 06:43 here. Chaturdashi ended at 20:09 Wed, before it. Purnima ends at 16:58, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 28 Jun ran from sunset 17:48 Wed to sunrise 06:43, 12 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:43 to 17:48, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:48 to 06:43 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 246°40′. It leaves at 15:21, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 73.9° + 248° = 321.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 00:11 Fri, then Indra.

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 06:32, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 16:58.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:43 to 06:43 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Jun 12:52 Thu to 15 Jul 02:05 Sat the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 03:41 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 15 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 1950, 13:20 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 99.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2007; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1872.
