Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Wed 22 Mar 2084

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 11:39 on Tue 21 Mar to 10:49 on Wed 22 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 22 Mar, at 06:58. 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, 06:58 here. Chaturdashi ended at 11:39 Tue, before it. Purnima ends at 10:49, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 21 Mar ran from sunset 19:13 Tue to sunrise 06:58, 11 h 45 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:58 to 19:14, 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 night here, 19:14 to 06:57 Thu, 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 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 3 at 153°20′. It leaves at 15:08, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 337.4° + 155.4° = 492.8°, one full turn and 132.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 07:52, then Vriddhi.

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 23:18 Tue, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 10:49.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:58 to 06:57 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 5 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 6 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2083, 13:58 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 364.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2140; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2005.
