Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 1 Jul 1996

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 11:40 on Sun 30 Jun to 07:58 on Mon 1 Jul, so it holds sunrise only on Mon 1 Jul, at 05:33. 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, 05:33 here. Chaturdashi ended at 11:40 Sun, before it. Purnima ends at 07:58, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 07:58 and ended at 04:06 Tue, between the sunrises of 05:33 and 05:33 Tue. Monday reads Purnima and Tuesday reads Dwitiya: Pratipada is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 30 Jun ran from sunset 20:34 Sun to sunrise 05:33, 8 h 59 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:33 to 20:34, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:34 to 05:33 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 253°20′. It leaves at 01:05 Tue, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 75.7° + 254.3° = 330°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 10:34, then Indra.

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 21:51 Sun, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 07:58.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:33 to 05:33 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 16 Jun 05:35 Sun to 15 Jul 20:14 Mon the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 16 Jul 05:40 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 16 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 1996, 14:44 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 100.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2053; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1918.
