Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Wed 31 Jul 1985

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 04:20 on Wed 31 Jul to 03:10 on Thu 1 Aug, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 31 Jul, at 06:05. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Pāthardi

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, 06:05 here. Chaturdashi ended at 04:20, before it. Purnima ends at 03:10 Thu, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 30 Jul ran from sunset 19:06 Tue to sunrise 06:05, 10 h 59 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:05 to 19:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:05 to 06:05 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 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 2 at 270°. It leaves at 18:22, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 104.1° + 273° = 377.1°, one full turn and 17.1°. 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 21:48, 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 runs until 15:42, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 03:10 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:05 to 06:05 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Jul 05:26 Thu to 16 Aug 15:35 Fri the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 19:53 Fri, 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 18 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 1985, 17:28 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 126.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2042; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1907.
