Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 31 Jul 2004

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 02:33 on Sat 31 Jul to 23:05 on Sat 31 Jul, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 31 Jul, at 06:56. 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, 06:56 here. Chaturdashi ended at 02:33, before it. Purnima ends at 23:05, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 30 Jul ran from sunset 21:16 Fri to sunrise 06:56, 9 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:56 to 21:15, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:15 to 06:57 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 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 Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 273°20′. It leaves at 15:10, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 104.3° + 274.9° = 379.2°, one full turn and 19.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 18:15, then Ayushmana.

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 12:48, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 23:05.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:56 to 06:57 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Jul 16:23 Sat to 16 Aug 06:23 Mon the Sun stayed in Karka, entering Simha at 16 Aug 16:18 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Shravana, before Shravana 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 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Shravana (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2004, 02:41 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 127.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2061; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1926.
