Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 29 Mar 2048

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 08:33 on Sun 29 Mar, after that sunrise, and ends at 06:04 on Mon 30 Mar, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Sun 29 Mar. 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: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:47 here. Trayodashi ended at 10:32 Sat, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 08:33, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 08:33 and ended at 06:04 Mon, between the sunrises of 06:47 and 06:46 Mon. Sunday reads Chaturdashi and Monday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 28 Mar ran from sunset 19:20 Sat to sunrise 06:47, 11 h 27 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:47 to 19:21, 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, 19:21 to 06:46 Mon, 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 20:54, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 344.6° + 151.6° = 496.2°, one full turn and 136.2°. 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 23:17, 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 21:37 Sat, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 08:33.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:47 to 06:46 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 Mar 18:27 Sat to 13 Apr 09:19 Mon the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 13 Apr 23:17 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Chaitra, before Chaitra 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 14 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 14 Mar 2048, 18:27 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 14.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2105; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1970.
