Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 27 Mar 1964

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 06:27 on Fri 27 Mar to 06:48 on Sat 28 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 27 Mar, at 06:52. No text giving 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, 06:52 here. Chaturdashi ended at 06:27, before it. Purnima ends at 06:48 Sat, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 26 Mar ran from sunset 19:18 Thu to sunrise 06:52, 11 h 34 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:52 to 19:19, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:19 to 06:50 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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 Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 150°. It leaves at 23:04, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 343.1° + 151.3° = 494.4°, one full turn and 134.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 04:06 Sat, then Dhruva.

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 18:34, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 06:48 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:52 to 06:50 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Mar 06:13 Sat to 12 Apr 16:37 Sun the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 10:22 Mon, 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 1964, 06:13 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 12.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2021; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1886.
