Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Thu 23 Oct 1980

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 01:47 on Thu 23 Oct to 21:51 on Thu 23 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 23 Oct, at 06:22. 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, 06:22 here. Chaturdashi ended at 01:47, before it. Purnima ends at 21:51, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 22 Oct ran from sunset 16:46 Wed to sunrise 06:22, 13 h 36 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:22 to 16:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:44 to 06:23 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 42 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 356°40′. It leaves at 10:53, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 186.4° + 357.1° = 543.5°, one full turn and 183.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 11:02, then Vajra.

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 11:50, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 21:51.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:22 to 06:23 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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 16 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Nov, 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 9 Oct, 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: 16 Mar 1980, 19:55 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 213.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2037; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1902.
