Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Mon 29 Mar 2010

Hanuman Jayanti follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 10:34 on Mon 29 Mar, after that sunrise, and ends at 07:25 on Tue 30 Mar, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Mon 29 Mar. No text giving Hanuman Jayanti’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: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:49 here. Trayodashi ended at 13:51 Sun, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 10:34, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 10:34 and ended at 07:25 Tue, between the sunrises of 07:49 and 07:47 Tue. Monday reads Chaturdashi and Tuesday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sun 28 Mar ran from sunset 20:20 Sun to sunrise 07:49, 11 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:49 to 20:21, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:21 to 07:47 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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 Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 150°. It leaves at 22:50, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 344.3° + 150.7° = 495°, one full turn and 135°. 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 01:29 Tue, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 00:12, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 10:34.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:49 to 07:47 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 14 Apr, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2010, 01:01 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 13.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2067; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1932.
