Kartik Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 23:53 on Wed 10 Nov to 02:27 on Fri 12 Nov, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 11 Nov, at 07:41. No text giving Kartik 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, 07:41 here. Chaturdashi ended at 23:53 Wed, before it. Purnima ends at 02:27 Fri, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 28 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 10 Nov ran from sunset 17:47 Wed to sunrise 07:41, 13 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:41 to 17:46, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:46 to 07:42 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 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′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 13°20′. It leaves at 05:21 Fri, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 204.4° + 16° = 220.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 19:21, then Variyana.

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 13:09, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 02:27 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:41 to 07:42 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 28 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 4 Apr 2038, 20:43 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 213.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2095; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1960.
