Panchang in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine Sun 3 Dec 2017

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 21:27 on Sat 2 Dec to 17:46 on Sun 3 Dec, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 3 Dec, at 07:48. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Khmelnytskyi

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, 07:48 here. Chaturdashi ended at 21:27 Sat, before it. Purnima ends at 17:46, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 2 Dec ran from sunset 16:15 Sat to sunrise 07:48, 15 h 33 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 2 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:48 to 16:14, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 3 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:14 to 07:50 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 57 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 40°. It leaves at 02:51 Mon, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 227.1° + 41.2° = 268.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 00:57 Mon, then Sadhya.

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 07:38, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 17:46.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:48 to 07:50 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 18 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2017, 05:57 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 243.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
