Panchang in Midleton, Munster, Ireland Fri 1 Dec 2028

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 01:11 on Fri 1 Dec to 01:40 on Sat 2 Dec, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 1 Dec, at 08:18. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Midleton

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, 08:18 here. Chaturdashi ended at 01:11, before it. Purnima ends at 01:40 Sat, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 30 Nov ran from sunset 16:25 Thu to sunrise 08:18, 15 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 3 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:18 to 16:25, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 0 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:25 to 08:19 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 59 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 36°40′. It leaves at 14:11, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 225.4° + 36.9° = 262.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 15:57, then Siddha.

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 13:29, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 01:40 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:18 to 08:19 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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, 16 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 16 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: 26 Mar 2028, 05:31 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 243.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
