Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sat 13 Aug 1927

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 08:00 on Fri 12 Aug to 05:37 on Sat 13 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 13 Aug, at 04:37. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Myjava

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, 04:37 here. Chaturdashi ended at 08:00 Fri, before it. Purnima ends at 05:37, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 28 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 05:37 and ended at 02:49 Sun, between the sunrises of 04:37 and 04:39 Sun. Saturday reads Purnima and Sunday reads Dwitiya: Pratipada is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 12 Aug ran from sunset 19:12 Fri to sunrise 04:37, 9 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:37 to 19:10, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:10 to 04:39 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 22:15, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 116.6° + 296° = 412.6°, one full turn and 52.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 05:50, then Shobhana.

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 18:52 Fri, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 05:37.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:37 to 04:39 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 28 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 2 Apr 1927, 05:24 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 128° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1984; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1849.
