A full Moon rises as the Sun sets and sets as it rises, which is the check anyone can make without an almanac: on this date the Moon rises at 5:44 PM against a sunset of 6:13 PM, and sets at 6:18 AM against a sunrise of 6:57 AM. The tithi ends at 21 Feb, 4:54 AM — the instant the Moon is exactly 180° from the Sun.
This tithi touches no sunrise at all
It begins at 20 Feb, 8:00 AM and ends at 21 Feb, 4:54 AM, slipping between two sunrises entirely. A tithi like this is kshaya — it exists, but no day belongs to it by the usual rule. The vrat is kept on the day it prevails through, which is the date above. The gauna observance falls on 21 February 2027.
