Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Tue 2 Oct 2001

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 16:53 on Mon 1 Oct to 18:48 on Tue 2 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 2 Oct, at 07:57. 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, 07:57 here. Chaturdashi ended at 16:53 Mon, before it. Purnima ends at 18:48, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Sep, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Mon 1 Oct ran from sunset 19:42 Mon to sunrise 07:57, 12 h 15 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:57 to 19:40, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:40 to 07:58 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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 Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 340°. It leaves at 21:00, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 165.1° + 340.1° = 505.2°, one full turn and 145.2°. 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 10:41, 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 ended at 05:53, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 18:48.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:57 to 07:58 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 Sep 15:27 Mon to 17 Oct 00:23 Wed the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 17 Oct 09:37 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina 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 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 2001, 06:21 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 184.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2058; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1923.
