Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 30 Apr 1923

Buddha Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 04:17 on Mon 30 Apr to 00:28 on Tue 1 May, so it holds sunrise only on Mon 30 Apr, at 04:59. No text giving Buddha Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Sevan

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, 05:01 here. Chaturdashi ended at 04:19, before it. Purnima ends at 00:30 Tue, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Sunrise here, 05:42, came before Chaturdashi ended at 06:49: this day reads Chaturdashi. Purnima ends at 03:00 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Purnima: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 05:01, came after Chaturdashi ended at 04:19: this day reads Purnima.

The night of Sun 29 Apr ran from sunset 18:52 Sun to sunrise 05:01, 10 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:01 to 18:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:53 to 05:00 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 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′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 183°20′. It leaves at 08:40, for Swati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 15.9° + 184.4° = 200.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 00:20 Tue, then Vyatipata.

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 14:24, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 00:30 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:01 to 05:00 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 16 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1923, 15:51 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 42.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1980; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1845.
