Purnima: every date in Mapleton

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, 06:55 here. Chaturdashi ended at 22:52 Sun, before it. Purnima ends at 00:08 Tue, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 27 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sun 9 Apr ran from sunset 19:59 Sun to sunrise 06:55, 10 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:55 to 20:00, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:00 to 06:54 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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 3 at 166°40′. It leaves at 16:07, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 356.7° + 168.6° = 525.3°, one full turn and 165.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 21:18, then Harshana.

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 11:27, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 00:08 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:55 to 06:54 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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 13 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 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 27 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: 27 Mar 2017, 20:57 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 13.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
