Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 10 Feb 1971

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 09:32 on Tue 9 Feb to 11:41 on Wed 10 Feb, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 10 Feb, at 08:00. 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, 08:00 here. Chaturdashi ended at 09:32 Tue, before it. Purnima ends at 11:41, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 27 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 9 Feb ran from sunset 18:26 Tue to sunrise 08:00, 13 h 34 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:00 to 18:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:28 to 07:59 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 41 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 113°20′. It leaves at 16:47, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 297.3° + 115.6° = 412.9°, one full turn and 52.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 08:44, then Shobhana.

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 22:34 Tue, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 11:41.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:00 to 07:59 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 25 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 27 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 1970, 08:09 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 304.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2027; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1892.
