Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 31 Aug 1993

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima holds both sunrises, 06:25 on Tue 31 Aug and 06:26 on Wed 1 Sep. Over two sunrises the Nirnayasindhu takes the first: Tue 31 Aug. 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, 06:25 here. Chaturdashi ended at 04:41, before it. Purnima ends at 06:32 Wed, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 04:41, before sunrise at 06:25, and ends at 06:32 Wed, after the next sunrise at 06:26 Wed. Both days read Purnima: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 30 Aug ran from sunset 19:35 Mon to sunrise 06:25, 10 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:25 to 19:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:33 to 06:26 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 300°. It leaves at 14:10, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 133.9° + 302.7° = 436.6°, one full turn and 76.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 12:30, then Sukarma.

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 17:34, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 06:32 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:25 to 06:26 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Aug 23:28 Tue to 16 Sep 07:10 Thu the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 16 Sep 19:28 Thu, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada 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 17 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 1993, 10:14 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 155° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2050; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1915.
