Panchang in Olean, New York, United States Tue 1 Aug 2023

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 18:22 on Mon 31 Jul to 14:31 on Tue 1 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 1 Aug, at 06:06. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Olean

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, 06:06 here. Chaturdashi ended at 18:22 Mon, before it. Purnima ends at 14:31, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Mon 31 Jul ran from sunset 20:33 Mon to sunrise 06:06, 9 h 33 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:06 to 20:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:32 to 06:07 Wed, 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 276°40′. It leaves at 06:33, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 104.7° + 279.7° = 384.4°, one full turn and 24.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 09:22, then Ayushmana.

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 04:28, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 14:31.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:06 to 06:07 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 14:31 Mon to 16 Aug 05:38 Wed the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 17 Aug 04:02 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana itself.

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

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 13:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 128.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
