Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hi, I get confused with all of this also. I think that Nov. 12 was Amavasya, the New Moon. I have found a Web Site that may help you as it gives the hours of the days, also. According to it, Pournami, Full Moon, is on Nov. 26/04, and Chathurthi is on Tues., Nov 30 until 22130 hours., but that is the Chathurthi after the Full Moon, not after the New Moon. Chathurthi after the New Moon is stated to be Nov 15th until 1808 hours. The Web Site is www.agasthiar.org/panchang/sep2004/pst.htm. You can find other months here also. Hope that this helps you.
