Panchang in Sofia, Sofia-Capital, Bulgaria Wed 1 Jul 2015

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 07:00 on Wed 1 Jul, after that sunrise, and ends at 05:19 on Thu 2 Jul, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Wed 1 Jul. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Sofia

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, 05:52 here. Trayodashi ended at 08:07 Tue, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 07:00, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 07:00 and ended at 05:19 Thu, between the sunrises of 05:52 and 05:52 Thu. Wednesday reads Chaturdashi and Thursday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Tue 30 Jun ran from sunset 21:08 Tue to sunrise 05:52, 8 h 44 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:52 to 21:08, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 54 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:08 to 05:52 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 5 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 240°. It leaves at 01:00 Thu, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 74.9° + 242.3° = 317.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 10:24, then Brahma.

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 19:38 Tue, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 07:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:52 to 05:52 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 17:05 Tue to 16 Jul 04:24 Thu the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 01:32 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha 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 16 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 11:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 99.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
