Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Mon 30 Mar 2048

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 10:03 on Sun 29 Mar to 07:34 on Mon 30 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Mon 30 Mar, at 06:24. 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, 06:24 here. Chaturdashi ended at 10:03 Sun, before it. Purnima ends at 07:34, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 07:34 and ended at 04:43 Tue, between the sunrises of 06:24 and 06:23 Tue. Monday reads Purnima and Tuesday reads Dwitiya: Pratipada is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 29 Mar ran from sunset 18:42 Sun to sunrise 06:24, 11 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:24 to 18:42, 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 night here, 18:42 to 06:23 Tue, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 20:27, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 345.5° + 164.8° = 510.3°, one full turn and 150.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 21:24, then Vyaghata.

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 20:52 Sun, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 07:34.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:23 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Mar 19:57 Sat to 13 Apr 10:49 Mon the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 00:47 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 14 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 14 Mar 2048, 19:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 15.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2105; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1970.
