Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Wed 2 Oct 1963

Sharad Purnima’s night centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Purnima runs from 08:56 on Wed 2 Oct to 05:43 on Thu 3 Oct, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:14–00:04 Thu) falls within it. No text giving Sharad Purnima’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

Sharad Purnima: every date in Myjava

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 08:56 on Wed 2 Oct, after that sunrise, and ends at 05:43 on Thu 3 Oct, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Wed 2 Oct. 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: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:49 here. Trayodashi ended at 11:43 Tue, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 08:56, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 08:56 and ended at 05:43 Thu, between the sunrises of 05:49 and 05:50 Thu. Wednesday reads Chaturdashi and Thursday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 1 Oct ran from sunset 17:30 Tue to sunrise 05:49, 12 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:49 to 17:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:28 to 05:50 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 330°. It leaves at 09:23, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 164.9° + 331.1° = 496°, one full turn and 136°. 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 21:57, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 22:24 Tue, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 08:56.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:49 to 05:50 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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Oct, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1963, 13:09 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 184.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2020; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1885.
