Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 31 Mar 1999

Hanuman Jayanti follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 18:25 on Tue 30 Mar to 19:48 on Wed 31 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 31 Mar, at 06:18. No text giving Hanuman Jayanti’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, 06:18 here. Chaturdashi ended at 18:25 Tue, before it. Purnima ends at 19:48, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 30 Mar ran from sunset 18:15 Tue to sunrise 06:18, 12 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:18 to 18:15, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:15 to 06:18 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 160°. It leaves at 08:23 Thu, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 346.4° + 160° = 506.4°, one full turn and 146.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 06:48, then Dhruva.

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 07:04, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 19:48.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:18 to 06:18 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Apr, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1999, 15:47 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 13.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2056; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1921.
