Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sat 30 Mar 2086

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 07:55 on Fri 29 Mar to 10:18 on Sat 30 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 30 Mar, at 06:46. 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, 06:46 here. Chaturdashi ended at 07:55 Fri, before it. Purnima ends at 10:18, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 29 Mar ran from sunset 19:21 Fri to sunrise 06:46, 11 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:46 to 19:22, 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, 19:22 to 06:44 Sun, 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 160°. It leaves at 03:08 Sun, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 344.8° + 163.2° = 508°, one full turn and 148°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 05:00 Sun, then Vyaghata.

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 21:08 Fri, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 10:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:46 to 06:44 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 15 Mar 12:05 Fri to 13 Apr 20:54 Sat the Sun stayed in Meena, entering Mesha at 14 Apr 17:05 Sun, 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 15 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: 15 Mar 2086, 12:05 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 14.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2143; Shaka Samvat numbers it 2008.
